Our Mission is to help  youth athletes ages 5-18 to become better citizens and foster their athletic endeavors.  The purpose of athletics and the Olympic games in ancient Greece were to “foster the idea of a sound mind in a sound body”. Running with Purpose Youth Track and Field Club’s core beliefs are grounded in that same spirit. Our goal is to provide an environment that leads to our youth having a sound mind by stressing academic excellence, and promoting goal setting. Our youth will have a strong body by stressing healthy living, we will focus on that through nutrition and constantly staying active, and diligently working on our athletic endeavors as well as fostering a strong work ethic in all that we do. While our goal is to compete and develop our youth athletically, our success will be measured on how well our youth athletes compete in life. We strive to make this not a summer commitment to our youth athletes but a life long one that will help them become productive and passionate citizens. This commitment means working hard to make sure we stay on the right path once we leave the track . We will be civic minded in helping our communities by lending our time and talents to those that are less fortunate and committing to leaving our communities better than when we found them.

We will never turn down a kid because of their athletic ability. Honest hard work and the dedication to beat last weeks personal best time or distance are wins in our book.
