We are very excited to have so much interest in this club! We hit a full roster in just a day and 1/2 and have a growing waitlist! We desire to give each and every one of our runners the attention they need and deserve in order to be successful in this program. At this point, we need to close all registration for the Spring 2026 team. If you were on the waitlist, we will contact you no later than March 1st to let you know if your child is on the team.
