LATE FALL 2022 CROSS COUNTRY STARTS OCT. 31st!
Join us and keep your youth athletes moving!
About our Youth X-Country Club
For over 18 years, Foot Traffic has been hosting and sponsoring youth and adult track and cross country races in the Portland Metro area. Our goal has always been to simply introduce the sport to as many students as possible with an emphasis on participation and having a ton of fun!
18 years ago, Foot Traffic instituted it’s first youth cross country club to better serve those young athletes that either didn’t have the means to participate, or simply didn’t know about the sport. Our experienced coaches provide a variety of group workouts and structured practice schedules based on the participants skill level. So whether you young athlete is a returning runner or a first-time jogger, they are sure to exit the program feeling excited and enthusiastic about the sport!
The Foot Traffic Youth XC club practices two afternoons a week. Our traditional XC MEETS are back on this year and will resume their typical Thursday evening time slot. Please have your athletes bring a water bottle, sunblock (when necessary), a light jacket, and a great attitude. Parental attendance is not necessary, but if you want to stay with your child and help out, just let our coaches know.

Weather policy:
We practice rain or shine!
