Crazy Running's Winter Track & Field program focuses on teaching young athletes the fundamentals, including jumps, throws, hurdles, sprints, and distance events. Participants will engage in a wide range of activities such as running, sprinting, jumping, throwing, bounding, stretching, speed development, endurance training, form drills, strength exercises, and much more! It’s a wonderful way to exercise, boost conditioning, enhance speed, and most importantly, have FUN!

In the Elite Winter Training group, we welcome individuals who are eager to improve and share a love for running and hard work during practice. Athletes will learn about proper running form and dynamic mobility drills, as well as strength and flexibility training, with additional elements of track & field included! This program aims to develop well-rounded athletes across all sports. We highly recommend these athletes be ready for this group so no one gets discouraged. The elite group is coached by Coach Donnie, who brings a wealth of expertise to every practice with over 20 years of competitive running experience, along with Coach Ashley, who as a former NCAA Division I cross country/track & field coach, brings high-level collegiate coaching experience, technical knowledge, and a passion for athlete development to every practice!

Programs include the Kidz Polar Bear Meet on Sunday, February 14th!
