EVERYONE IS WELCOME:

Youth track & field is a great way to get kids started in a physical fitness program. Our program helps kids discover their potential, make new friends, and gain newfound self confidence.

The cost to participate is $55* per kid.

*An additional $60 fee may be accessed to those families that have not yet joined the St. Ignatius Athletic Association for the current school year. This fee must be paid online.

Benefits of Running

  • Running is one of the healthiest, if not the healthiest, exercise.
  • Running improves your cardiovascular system helping you resist heart and artery disease.
  • Running helps ward off major lifestyle diseases, includinghigh blood pressure and diabetes.
  • In addition to these health benefits, you'll also feel better. And remarkably, you'll find that you have more energy everyday--not less.

That's the beauty of running. It fends off disease, strengthens your heart, increases energy levels, and is a lot of fun!

And, as an added bonus, your measured track miles will count toward the “Wildcats on the Move” fitness recognition program.
