Registration underway for Carson High Youth Running Camp happening July 29 to August 2

Event Date: 
July 29, 2024 - 8:00am

The Carson High School Cross Country team would like to invite all area kids entering 4th through 8th grades to attend the CHS Youth Running Camp at Peter Livermore Sports Complex, 8 to 10 a.m. Monday, July 29 through Friday, August 2.

The Cross Country team wants to show kids that running is fun! The kids will go on runs and will be shown how to build strength, speed and endurance. There will be short lessons regarding running, including proper nutrition and pre-race strategies. And, of course, there will be LOTS of games!

Last summer, the camp was a huge success with over 50 future runners attending. Kids started the week telling us that their moms made them come – and they finished the week asking when the next running camp will be! Register here today to reserve your spot.
