Running shoes are the most important equipment for a student-athlete involved in cross country and track. Area schools offer these programs as early as the third grade, during a formative time when children are learning about healthy lifestyle behavior. Good shoes can make a difference. There are instances when a student-athlete’s family cannot afford a proper pair of shoes to help enhance their running experience.
Created in 2006, the Traverse City Track Club’s Golden Shoe Fund program partners with area running coaches and the local running stores, Fleet Feet, to help area running athletes in grades 3 through 12 receive new running shoes with dignity.
