The Guilderland Youth Cross Country program offers athletes the complete competitive running experience in a low pressure, friendly, and extremely fun environment. Athletes will train on the beautiful trails of Tawasentha Park as they work to improve their endurance, strength, and agility. The staff of experienced coaches will use fun and exciting games, drills, and workouts to help the athletes gain a love for running and reach their full potential. Athletes will be encouraged to set goals and work towards achieving their goals at youth cross country meets.
Running
There will be opportunities for the athletes to race against others in their age group a few times during the fall - the coaches will share the information when it is available!

The program runs on Mondays and Thursday from 5:30 - 7:00pm (9/11 - 10/26)

The coaches will meet all participants in the grass oval area by the Pool.

A $35 materials fee will be collected by the coach on the first day of the camp.
