The Youth Long-Distance Running Program provides children with an opportunity to be introduced to the sport of cross country in a structured and supportive setting. Participants will engage in a variety of activities designed to build endurance, improve running form, and strengthen core muscles. The program emphasizes cardiovascular fitness, running techniques, and foundational skills that will benefit athletes both in cross country and in overall physical development.
Instruction will be led by Coach Evan Rodgers-Farmer, an experienced coach with numerous years of success at the middle school and high school levels. Through this program, young athletes will gain an understanding of the dedication and effort involved in long-distance running, while also experiencing the enjoyment and personal growth that come with the sport.
