RunningLane Track Club has applied for 501c (3) organization status as of April 2022.  RTC is dedicated to developing youth runners both girls and boys from 7 thru 18 years of age    (3rd thru 12th grades) of all ability levels who want to develop to be the best runner they can be!

Our mission is to prepare youth runners for high school competition and beyond. Many of our graduates will join their respective high school teams and immediately have a positive impact for their team. RunningLane Track Club graduates will be well versed in individual race performance, race strategies for both cross country and track, aerobic and anaerobic training, interval work, heart rate fitness, hydration and nutrition, sportsmanship, team concepts, mental preparation and mental toughness, distance runner specific strength training, negative splitting and more. Some  will go on to compete at the national level against the very best youth runners in America. They will have experienced a variety of races on the track, 3200m to 5000m in cross country, 5000m and 10000m road races. Stepping up to the starting line for their first high school  race will still be nerve-wracking for a RunningLane Track Club Graduate, but only until the gun announces the start of the race. With a multitude of races under their belt the anxiety will ease as soon as the race begins.
