Our K–2 Cross Country program is designed to be a fun and light introduction to cross country.

No previous running or cross country experience is needed!

Wednesdays: 2:00–2:45 PM
Fridays: 2:45–3:30 PM

Coach Jackie will get the students from class and bring them to Coulter Field. Students will have an opportunity to change before practice, so please send play/running clothes, appropriate shoes, and a water bottle on practice days.

After practice, parents may pick up their child at the Pavilion. Any remaining students will be taken to Club Eagle.

RACES -We currently have two confirmed K–2 races at Victor Ashe Park:

Saturday, September 5, 2026 and Saturday, October 3, 2026

We are also working on adding additional KISL race opportunities.

Each race will be approximately one mile on grass. Coach Keith, along with our Elementary and Middle School runners, will be on the course to help and encourage our K–2 runners. More detailed race information will be sent the week before each race.

We will use Monday’s practice to assess the players and make our final team placements.

COACHES-A huge THANK YOU to our coaches who have already agreed to help this season! We truly appreciate you giving your time to our players and our program.

3rd Grade: Coach Jason Wakely
Floating/Helping Both Teams: Coach Matt Martland

PRACTICE SCHEDULE-Mondays: 4:00–5:00 PM & Wednesdays: 4:00–5:00 PM
