​

Since 2014, the Greater Williamsburg Distance Running Club (GWDRC) has provided a team opportunity for 3rd to 8th grade boys and girls who have an interest in distance running (3+ miles).  Our youth club runners live in James City County, Upper York County and Williamsburg, VA, though the club is open to anyone in the region.  

​

While GWDRC is open to 3rd to 8th graders, we do ask that youth runners be able to run a mile (without breaks) in under 10 minutes by their third practice with us. 

​

  We have weekly practices, run in local road races and participate in AAU Cross Country Meets.  For 2019, we are excited to we will have a fall, and spring running session.  We also are planning to hold 3-day introductory Pole Vault camp this summer for boys and girls older than 13 years old."
