The Bowerman Track Club Fall Cross Country program is one of the best of its kind in the nation. Our program is open to kids ages 7 to 14, the group meets for practices at five locations (Nike WHQ, NE Portland, North Portland, Sherwood and Lake Oswego) on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday evenings. Practice starts in the beginning of September and runs through early December. As part of the program, kids are provided with a minimum structured practices two times a week and racing opportunities throughout the season. The program is open to kids of all levels. We especially invite those who have never run before to come out and give it a try. We don’t think you will regret it!

Must be middle school aged athlete or younger to participate.

The Bowerman Track Club includes runners of all ages and abilities, and a particularly special aspect of the fall cross country program is that the youth athletes receive coaching from some of our BTC Elite runners. Check out the BTC Elite pages to see the list of All-Americans and Olympic Trials/National Qualifier caliber athletes the kids will receive top-level coaching from.
