This year we can offer selected events in Track from 400m to 3000m (primarily the running events) due to the number of coaches we have available. Have an interest in coaching an event? Send us an email! We would love to offer more events for our CORK youth athletes!
If you would like to help out as a coach please reach out to centraloregonrunningklub@gmail.com and let us know. You’ll need to have a background check and SafeSport training but CORK will reimburse you for the cost.
The CORK Youth Track program is for grades 3-8 and does not require experience to join. Our goal is for kids to have fun, learn about track and field, and how to train properly. All practices and meets are optional. This year the CORK Youth Track Season will have a focus on the running events from 400m to 3000m. Participants will receive coaching for how to train, running form, nutrition guidance, starting, pacing, warming up, workouts, stretching, etc.
