Organiser's description

JOIN US ON APRIL 12, 2025 FOR THE FIRST VELOCITY XPRESS 5K!

VELOCITY XPRESS (V.X.) TRACK CLUB, ELKTON, MARYLAND, WAS CREATED WITH A PASSION TO SEE CHILDREN IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH, LEARN THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF RUNNING AND FIELD EVENTS, LIVE HEALTHY LIVES WHILE PARTICIPATING IN PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE ATHLETIC TRAINING, DISCIPLINE, AND NUTRITIONAL
EDUCATION. THIS DYNAMIC PROGRAM TEACHES AND EQUIPS ATHLETES WITH POWER, ENDURANCE, SPEED, AND COORDINATION WHILE PROMOTING CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY.

YOUTH SPORTS REQUIRE A GREAT DEAL OF FINANCIAL COMMITMENT FOR PARENTS, AND VX IS NO DIFFERENT. WE MUST TRAVEL TO ALL OF OUR MEETS, INCLUDING OUR BIGGEST AND MOST COMPETITIVE MEET, AAU JUNIOR OLYMPICS, WHICH IS HELD IN A DIFFERENT STATE EACH YEAR. IN 2025, JUNIOR OLYMPICS WILL TAKE PLACE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS!

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE VELOCITY XPRESS 5K WILL GO TOWARDS THE TEAM TO HELP REDUCE THE EXPENSES FOR OUR ATHLETES SUCH AS UNIFORMS, EQUIPMENT AND TRAVEL TO AAU JUNIOR OLYMPICS IN HOUSTON, TEXAS!
