Philosophy

Our objective is to unlock each athletes running potential by instilling Dedication, Determination, and Discipline. 

With these three attributes in place, running goals and dreams will be achieved. “We all have dreams. In order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of dedication, determination, self-discipline and effort” – Jesse Owens
