About the Upstate Running Club Team - Winter Indoor Track Program
This is a youth cross country program, not a single race. Kids in a range of ages train twice a week through the fall, then compete in a series of local and regional meets, with the season building toward championship-level races. Practices are split between a nature preserve and a park, giving athletes time on varied terrain.
There are eligibility standards based on a timed mile, so athletes need to meet a pace requirement before joining. The program is free to participate in, though a gear package covering practice and race kit is available for purchase. Coaching staff between them carry decades of experience working with youth athletes.
