Fall Cross Country
This cross country program is designed to build fitness, character, and a lifelong love for running in youth athletes.
Our Cross Country program introduces runners in grades 3-5 to the fundamentals of distance running in a supportive, team-oriented environment. We accommodate all skill levels, from beginners discovering the sport to experienced runners sharpening their racing strategies.
- Age-Appropriate Training: Workouts are tailored to developmental stages, focusing on form, endurance, and pacing.
- Skill Progression: Beginners learn fundamental running mechanics, while older athletes tackle advanced race tactics and threshold training.
- Games & Fun: We incorporate active running games to keep energy high and prevent burnout.
- Character Building: Training emphasizes sportsmanship, goal setting, mental resilience, and mutual encouragement.
Put on your shoes and let's start running.
Program will be held on the track behind Sarah Noble Intermediate School. Kids will meet with Coach Crandell at the parent pick up area after school and head to the track from there.
