OREGON TRACK CLUB YOUTH CROSS COUNTRY TEAM

What is OTC Youth Cross Country?

A club designed to fuel kids’ excitement and love for running by giving them the opportunity to participate in this historic club and be a part of Eugene’s worldwide fame as TrackTown, USA.  A particularly unique aspect of the program is that, in addition to regular coaching staff, the youth athletes will receive encouragement and coaching from “special guest” coaches, Olympians and other local celebrities.
