Our 4-week Youth Running Camp introduces youth to running in a safe and fun environment. These camps are a grassroots program, designed to break down barriers and ensure every child has the opportunity to participate. Additionally, we give back by supporting local middle and high school Cross Country programs, donating proceeds from the One Mile Challenge. This event introduces over 500 youth to running and cross country, fostering a positive experience that we hope will inspire a lifelong love for the sport.
Campers will have 4 weeks of training practices and will compete in the Extra Mile One Mile Challenge Race on Saturday, July 11.
