From the Organizer
Youth summer running IQ camp is presented by Elevate Training, Gulf Coast Runners, and Coach Justin Moomaw. "Coach Moo" is a Gulf Coast Runners board member and a level 1 certified running coach with USA Track & Field. This camp is in its 10th year of preparing youth distance runners with the tools needed to "take the next step" and hit their potential. Additionally, we are in our 4th year of offering an elementary camp that uses games and fun to enhance their love of movement. The focus for both is to provide knowledge and a plan to tackle summer running, with an emphasis on reaching your potential for your cross country team in the fall. Check out the flyer below for more details and the topics covered!
This will take place at the same location and time, but totally separate from our middle school experience. Whether beginners or seasoned GCR Youth Team members, this camp will show kids how to make running fun through activities that keep them busy..... and tire them out :) Campers will need to be sure they have shoes that they can tie and independent bathroom skills. A snack will be served daily.
Gulf Coast Runners is proud to support and endorse USA Track & Field level 1 certified coach, Justin Moomaw and his training company ELEVATE. Coach Moomaw has worked with local youth for the past 2 decades and he annually produces teams that place in the top 5 in the FLYRA middle school state cross country meet (including 2 state runners up teams in XC and a state track championship team!) He has coached multiple state champion runners and currently coaches athletes (BOTH HS AND MS) who have posted times among the fastest in Florida in the 800, 1600 and 3000m runs.
