Landsharks (Coming soon!)

We offer a non-competitive youth program to introduce running to young athletes
in a safe and fun environment.  The focus is on self-improvement, being an
encouraging teammate, and making new friends. The Fall Cross Country Series is a
fun running program led by coaches, parents and teachers and is open to students
in kindergarten through 6th grade.  Please remember to purchase a team race shirt
if this is your first season running.

Practices are scheduled on Tuesday/Thursday at 3:00-4:00pm. Our first practice
will be September 12, 2023 and ending on October 10, 2023. Practices consist of
running games and track workouts with a strong focus on fun. Please meet at the
atrium on campus.

Races are held in the afternoons at Bear Creek Regional Park. At the races,
runners receive a race tag with their number, ribbons and a series medal at the
final race.  Race results are posted on the Landsharks website. Meets are
