Our Mission
The East Running Club aspires to develop youth athletes in the Bullitt East feeder system. Using a growth mindset model, we challenge and increase the physical, mental, and emotional limits of our athletes. We rely on hard work and fun to help us reach our goal of making every runner the absolute best runner they can be.
We also emphasize the really important stuff...being healthy, happy, having fun, and making lifelong friends!!!!!
