The Upstate Running Club is proud to sponsor over 100 youth athletes this year through four seasonal training programs led by certified coaches from Without Limits. Each season includes weekly practices, local and regional competitions, and team-building socials designed to strengthen both athletic skill and personal development.

Thanks to your club memberships and generous team donations, we’re able to offer these programs at a reduced cost for youth ages 8–13. Our mission is to equip young athletes with the tools to succeed at the next level of competition—while fostering self-confidence, resilience, and lifelong character.
