Note that, new this year, our programming is starting at grade 3 and older.

Also new this year, we are introducing a Competitive Program (3x/week) as well as our Development Program (2x/week).

Practices will take place rain or shine.

Location and Times

Our “home base” will be Harbourview Park in Collingwood. We will mix it up with some “field trips” to great track and trail locations around Collingwood throughout the season.

What’s Included

  • Professional enthusiastic coaches to foster a love of running in you and your children

  • Weekly in-person training program, as well as general structure for off-nights

  • “Collingwood Runners” race singlet

  • Off-nights strength program with a focus on injury prevention

  • Competitive program also includes a “Collingwood Runners” tracksuit

What’s Not Included

  • Athletics Ontario (AO) registration. For those looking to race AO sanctioned races, there is a mandatory registration AO. This cost varies with age. This is only required once per year, so if you already completed this in spring, you are done for this year. The cost breakdown can be found here. We will talk more about this at our first practice.

  • Race fees in which you decide to compete

Financial Assistance

Our running club is committed to making sport accessible to everyone. We offer financial assistance to individuals and families who may need support with membership fees. If cost is a concern, please reach out to us in confidence.
