FAQ

Why should I join this club?

• This club is to introduce running to those who have never run before, and to provide mentor led sessions to those who are experienced in the sport. Anyone and everyone is welcome, and different levels of workouts will be made to sufficiently challenge the runners to help them improve. Running improves physical and mental health in numerous ways, as well as provides a social setting to interact and make friends. This is also a great way for athletes interested in joining cross country and/or track and field in highschool to train. Even if you aren't interested in taking up running as a sport, it is great conditioning for any other sport and overall physical health.
