Youth

"Number one is just to gain a passion for running.  To love the morning, to love the trail, to love the pace on the track."

-Pat Tyson

YOUTH DISTANCE RUNNING CAMP

This camp will be for boys and girls entering fifth through eighth grade who are looking for a way to develop their running ability and passion for the sport.  It is a great opportunity for middle school cross country runners to prepare for their season.  The camp is also strongly recommended for anyone interested in running cross country and/or track in high school.  Participants will be introduced to the same training program that is used by the cross country and track teams at Highland Park High School.  This camp will not only build endurance and speed, but will also help children improve their work ethic, build self-esteem and develop a love for long distance running.

This program will be run by Steve Buti. Steve is the head cross country and track & field coach for the boys at Highland Park High School.  He also teaches Physical Education at Braeside Elementary School.  

Program Location:  Sunset Woods Park, 1801 Sunset Road

The Park District of Highland Park and Highland Park High School will be hosting a three-day Youth Track & Field Event for 4th-8th graders.  On the first two days, participants will learn about track and field events from Highland Park High School Track & Field coaches and athletes.  These two days will give students a chance to learn and practice different events including sprints, high jump, long jump, shot put, distance events, and relays.  On the final day, children will compete in a Youth Track & Field Meet!  Students are welcome to attend any of the three days.  It is strongly recommended that at least one practice day is attended if competing in the meet. 

Each participant will receive a T-shirt.   Awards will be given to those who compete in the meet.
