West Michigan Harriers Summer Run Club 2026

Description

This is a summer training group for high school cross country runners (grades 9-12) in the greater Grand Rapids area. This is not a group for adults. We typically meet 2 days a week for group training sessions that include hill workouts, tempo runs (lactate threshold), or long runs during the months of June, July and August. Coach Jackson Fox (USATF Level 2 Certified Coach and Cross Country Specialist) will organize and supervise training groups based on current fitness levels and experience. Practice information will be sent out weekly via email to participants that are registered. Please note that there are a few dates during the summer that we will not have practice which will be communicated via email.
