Athletes will explore the scenic trails of Tawasentha Park while developing endurance, pacing, and a love for running. Each session focuses on fun, fitness, and personal growth in a low‑pressure setting.

Participants will train at the Guilderland High School Track, working on sprints, jumps, throws, and overall technique. Instruction emphasizes skill development, sportsmanship, and steady improvement.

While rain pushed the concert to the pavilion at Western Turnpike Golf Course - it did give us a beautiful rainbow right before concert time!
