Crestview

We are back this summer with 3 local cross-country programs to collaborate for the “419 Running Youth Running Club”. Ashland, Crestview, and Mapleton will be working together to help spread a message that we (as runners) already know…Running is FUN!!! This year we will offer 1st through 6th graders the opportunity to learn and experience the sport of distance running by joining our Middle School and High School teams for an introductory experience. We will be meeting together with young runners during the summer at each of our locations. During all practices and race sessions, our coaches will be present and running with the kids to help them reach their goals while keeping them safe wherever they are. So many times we hear younger athletes say things like “I can’t run” or “Running isn’t fun!” We agree that many times running can be unpleasant or seem hard to do. When people train for other sports they run hard (when they are not used to doing it) and it really isn’t fun. Most athletes struggle to learn the pacing needed to run beyond ½ a mile when they first begin. We want to help elementary students have fun experiences with running that can lead to a true appreciation and enjoyment of the sport. Did I mention that we plan to have fun running?!?! We will also work on basic form, running, and dynamic stretching drills, and engage in light conditioning. This means this camp will help all runners for any sport! 419 Youth Running Club members will then be able to participate in fun runs at each host site’s invitationals, as well as get free entry into some great 5k/fun run events held locally. These events will be a great opportunity for our young runners to come together. Check the link for a listing of free events for our youth to participate in (subject to change so stay posted!) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VeJQJEoQrhy83V4ZRh074V2xyoYlmwTnArlJJJJzds0/edit

In October 2023, our friends and neighbors at Ashland High School lost one of their own, Andre, to a fentanyl overdose. In this video, Andre's dad, Jeremy, talks about the surprisingly accessible pathways to addiction in our own community and the signs that he and Andre's mom missed along the way. Your awareness of the signs is an important step in protecting our kids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1DchFpsCBs
