Wolfpack Running Club is a nonprofit USATF youth running club. Our mission is to build the mental and physical strength of youth athletes through track and field and cross country, cultivating a passion for running through education, support, and camaraderie.
Our programs are designed to help youth athletes learn running form, participate in activities to develop speed and stamina, and review principles to take care of their bodies and minds as they are introduced to the intricate and competitive world of running. We strive to teach work ethic while fostering a love for running.
We train in Draper and Sandy with meets in Salt Lake, Utah, Davis Counties, and sometimes beyond.
Athletes from kindergarten through 8th grade are invited to join our Pack. Our programs include:
- Track & field – sprints, distance running, hurdles, relays, throws, and jumps – depending on age and program
- Cross Country – 1k, 2k, 3k, or 4k distances depending on age division and program
- Practices at elementary schools, high schools, or parks
- Disciplined training programs curated by former professional runners and elite athletes that are designed to meet kids where they are, push them to get stronger, and develop healthy habits.
- A strong focus on unity and being part of the Pack as we strive to be our best and lift those around us.
Our Wolfpack Elementary Program is for kindergarten thru 6th grade. In a 6-week program, kids learn the basics of track & field through game-based workouts, fun lessons, and a focus on learning sprints, distance running, javelin, and long jump. In our 6-week cross country program, kids learn basic running form through games and lessons that build up to their racing distance (1k, 2k, or 3k). We host two meets with the opportunity for athletes to also compete at state meets. Our Elementary teams are in Draper and Sandy.
Our Competition Team is for athletes in 3rd through 8th grade who would like to compete at USATF state, regional, and possibly national levels in track and field and cross country. We focus on racing strategies, mental strength development, and goal setting within a fun environment. Practices feature core and agility work within a comprehensive training plan that enables athletes to peak at specific times throughout the season.
Our team boasts multiple state, regional, national champions, and All-Americans. We even hold a handful of Utah state track & field records.
In 2021, our 11-12 girls cross country team took home a National Championship despite hail, high winds, mud, and tornado warnings in Paris, KY. (Read about it here: https://www.ksl.com/
In 2022, many of those same girls went on to win ANOTHER National Championship as 13-14 girls at the USATF Jr Olympic Nationals in College Station, TX. 19 of our athletes placed in the Top 100 in the Nation and 6 were given the title of All-American.
In 2024, at the USATF Jr Olympic XC Nationals in Indiana, our 9-10 boys team placed 7th in the nation and our 11-12 girls team placed 8th in the nation!
In 2022, 2023, and 2024, our competition track & field team was the Utah State and Region 11 Track & Field Champion.
The skills and experience our athletes gain from our program goes with them into high school and college and many who were former teammates come back to help coach when they can.
Wolfpack donations and sponsors are the backbone of our nonprofit and enable us to run smoothly and focus on supporting our athletes. The generous donations allow us to subsidize the cost of apparel, uniforms, and merch for our programs along with administrative costs and insurance. Every cent of every donation goes directly into making the Wolfpack programs better for our team!
