our programs

All ages and abilities welcome!

School aged student looking to run and have fun with friends? Adult new to running and looking for a supportive environment to get into the sport? Join us! Already fast and want to be challenged and get even faster? This is right up your alley!

We do ask that children in grade 3 or under join with a parent or guardian to help out.

Our sessions run for eight weeks with two practices per week. While races are not mandatory, each session is designed to prepare participants for two end-of-season races — one road and one trail. Additionally, the fall session will include planning around the Athletics Ontario XC Season.

Practices will take place rain or shine.

The first week of each session will focus on base fitness and general assessment, after which we will divide individuals into appropriate training groups based on age and ability for weeks two through eight.

Location and Times

Our “home base” will be Harbourview Park in Collingwood, but we will mix it up with some “field trips” to great track and trail locations around Collingwood throughout the season.

We’ve moved our weekday practice day this season to Thursday evening at 5:30pm. Saturdays remain the same at 9:00am.
