Walnut Creek Run Club

Thu November 2 - Thu August 8 Walnut Creek, CA 94598 US

PROGRAMS

Get your little athletes ready for their sports and daily activities through running. They will build endurance, speed and strength to improve performance and reduce injury in athletics, as well as everyday activities. They would not know they are working hard because they would be having too much fun!

We strive to 

  1. Build whole athletes one child at a time.
  2. Give the child the chance to grow into their own athlete.
  3. Develop strong minds and bodies through trail running.

 

Trail Run Club (November to March)

Great for athletes who can already run a mile continuously and wants to run longer. One day a week, we go for a longer run on the trails after a warm up, core and strength work. On the other day, we will work on speed and agility. The goal is to nurture the joy for trail running, improve our aerobic capacity and gain some speed along the way. We complete a mile time trial at the first and last session of every month.
