Summer MS/HS Distance Training 2026

from $80.00

NEW: DIFFERENT COMMITMENTS FOR TRAINING PROGRAM BY # OF WEEKS
ALSO NEW: 7+ kids join from your team and the whole group will get Fun Runners shirts in TEAM/DISTRICT colors!
ALSO NEW: Take advantage of the sibling discount and sign up friends and work out the payment with them! Just make sure to follow up that we have all email addresses.

Our goal is to get many middle school and high school runners TOGETHER for their summer training.
To create an Island-wide group of the most dedicated athletes to stay consistent and put in solid distance work over the summer so they show up truly ready for the fall.

We have permits at different parks, with an easier registration than past years! One price for as many or as few runs per week as you’d like. 3-5 runs per week is recommended.

CONSISTENCY. ROUTINE. COMMUNITY.

Commit to a training program on some of the best parks on Long Island, and make some new friends in the process.

This program is for motivated boys and girls interested in distance running, entering grades 6 - 12. Not just cross country runners - soccer, lacrosse, and basketball players could benefit from this program as well. An athlete’s fitness and ability to run is often a deciding factor when trying out for a fall team. Please note that kids doing this program should be able to run a minimum of three miles without stopping. If kids are not able to keep up with moderate distance run they may be asked to transfer over to our Teen Track program.

Easy Distance Runs to ensure you build a BASE this summer.
Running in Groups Beats Running Solo

Groups will be formed by abilities and goals, and runners will be assigned different routes each week and a prescribed pace, led by an experienced collegiate runner. We will make sure there is a proper warmup and cooldown, plenty of stretching and drills, and that things are kept interesting with different goals each week.

Maybe your high school team meets twice per week over the summer already - what about the other days of the week? Maybe you plan on doing a weeklong camp - what about the other weeks of the summer? Make a commitment to your fall season and Run With Us when you can. It’ll be much better than running by yourself.

No Racing, No Burnout, No Injuries. Just keeping your training consistent and FUN.
