Wings Youth Running

What: The Wings summer track program is for youth ages 8-18 who are interested in running for fun and competition.  This is an opportunity for young people to develop into strong and fast runners alongside their peers. 

Training: Practices will be varied including drills to work on form, trail running, speed-work, and interval workouts on the track.  Young runners will train with a goal: To compete in the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Junior Olympic track meets.  They will gain fitness, running experience, and get a taste of competition.  All of this while having a blast!

Competing: Runners will have the opportunity to compete in track meets (optional but encouraged). Some athletes will advance to national level competition, an opportunity to run with the best youth runners in the country.  The sport of track and field is a great way to learn that hard work and dedication can help you achieve your goals in life, on and off the track.
