Coaches: Samantha Read

Introducing the Distance Crew: A dynamic community tailored to high school and university athletes passionate about middle-distance and distance running. Our crew is a hub for dedicated individuals eager to excel in Track and Field and Cross-Country competitions. Beyond local school events, participants are primed for broader horizons, including provincial, national, and even United States competitions.

Beginning in August, our comprehensive training year accommodates ongoing registration, ensuring athletes can join at any point. As the leaves turn in fall, our focus seamlessly shifts to cross country training, immersing athletes in the thrill of off-road challenges.

Transitioning to the indoor season, our athletes embrace a diverse range of events, from the speedy 400m dash to the endurance-demanding 5000m race, culminating with the exhilarating steeplechase in the outdoor season.

The heart of our Crew lies in its flexible yet dedicated approach. With group sessions available five days a week, we tailor the training to individual needs, recognizing that each athlete’s journey is unique. Whether chasing personal bests or aiming for podium finishes, the Distance Crew provides a supportive environment for growth, camaraderie, and achievement. Join us and set your course for excellence!
