Event summary

Get ready for an exciting season of running with the NRC Youth Spring Track and Field Program, taking place from May 4 to June 15, 2025, at Northport Middle School in Suffolk. This dynamic program, designed for children aged 9 to 13, focuses on enhancing running skills through engaging drills and techniques that emphasize proper form, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Under the expert guidance of certified USA Track and Field coach Vincent Del Cid, participants will be grouped by ability to ensure a supportive and fun environment.

The program includes six sessions on Sundays at 11 a.m., with dates set for May 4, May 11, May 18, June 1, June 8, and June 15, 2025 (note that there will be no meeting on May 25).

Each athlete will receive world-class instruction, a youth membership with the Northport Running Club, and a special NRC t-shirt and hat! Plus, there’s a season-ending celebration to cap off the fun! Don’t miss this opportunity to inspire your young athlete to run faster
