From the Organizer
Twin Cities Track Club (TCTC) is excited to host the 12th season of the popular Kids City XC youth cross-country league in the Twin Cities. This program teaches kids the fundamentals of distance running in a fun setting. Your kids will learn from experienced coaches and running enthusiasts in our community about the importance of hard work, teamwork, camaraderie and personal achievement. The 2025 season runs from August 11th through October 1st and is open to children entering grades 2-8. Given the rather large age-range, practices will often be split into smaller groups based on age and/or ability.
