West Michigan Harriers Summer Run Club

This is a summer training group for high school cross country runners (grades 9-12) in the greater Grand Rapids area. This is not a group for adults. We meet 3 days a week to complete group training sessions that include hill workouts on Monday at John Ball Park, tempo runs (lactate threshold) on Wednesday at Riverside Park, and long runs on Friday at John Ball Park during the months of June, July and August. Coach Jackson Fox (USATF Level 2 Certified Coach and Cross Country Specialist) will organize and supervise training groups based on current fitness levels and experience. Practice information will be sent out weekly via email to participants that are registered. Please note that there are a few dates during the summer that we will not have practice which will be communicated via email.
