Upstate Running Club Youth Team - Spring Track Program

The Upstate Running Club is proud to sponsor over 100 youth athletes each year through seasonal training programs. 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 7–13. 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.

This program provides youth and developmental athletes with complimentary coaching from our volunteer coaching staff, Victoria and Matt Hammersmith, who bring over three decades of combined coaching experience working with athletes of all levels.

Each athlete is required to purchase the team gear and race package. Team singlets and warm-ups will be distributed prior to our first team competition. The official team schedule will be posted and available on the first day of the program.
