Develop Speed. Build Strength. Become a Better Runner.
Teen Track Thursdays is a 10-session, coach-led program for middle and high school students in grades 7–12 who want to become stronger, faster, and more efficient runners.
Whether you’re new to structured running, looking to improve your fitness, or already competing in school track or cross-country, this program offers focused workouts to help you develop your skills and reach your potential.
