Whether it's your child’s main weekly activity or a complement to another sport, our Youth Running Program emphasizes fun, fitness, and personal bests. Throughout the season, we engage participants with enjoyable games and exercises that help build proper running form, endurance, and speed. Our primary goal is for every participant to finish the season with a newfound passion for running.

​

In the Spring, Summer, and Fall, we’re based at the track and open fields of Russell High School, as well as the grounds behind the Russell Community Sport Centre. We also explore other fantastic local running spots like the New York Central Fitness Trail, Henry J. Tweed Conservation Area, and Keith M. Boyd Park. During the winter, we take full advantage of the Township of Russell Sports Dome.
