Dear St. Mark's Track Parents and Young Runners,

We are gearing up for another season in partnership with Without Limits Trailblazers Youth, 

Here's a glimpse of what's in store for our program:

Grades 1-8: We're excited to welcome kids ranging from 1st to 8th grade into our program. Whether your child is taking their first steps in the world of running or already has some experience, our coaching staff is dedicated to nurturing their potential and fostering a love for the sport.

6th-8th Graders: For students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. They will have the privilege of representing St. Mark's Track by donning our official uniform at the upcoming season. This is a chance for our older participants to showcase their dedication and hard work.

Focused Development for 1st-5th Graders: Our 1st to 5th graders will be enrolled in our specialized sprints and speed development program. Through this, they will receive targeted training to enhance their form, strength, speed, and endurance. These foundational skills will not only benefit them in running but also lay a solid groundwork for their future pursuits in various sports.

We are committed to providing a supportive and enriching environment where each child can flourish. Our goal is to instill values of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance while ensuring that everyone has a blast along the way.

Here's to a fun developmental season ahead
