At Lightning Youth Academy, our cross-country season starts in July and ends in the first or second weeks of December, depending on the date of the national meet.
At Lightning, we focus on developing youth physically and mentally so that they can compete at the local, regional, and national levels. We don't just focus on competition but on creating meaningful memories with the families.
Cross Country is a team sport. Five runners are required for each age division to make a team. If there are more than five runners, the top five count points.
All of our trainings are designed to be enjoyable and varied. During the week, we train at our local parks, and on the weekends, we train at local hills and trails, making each session a new and exciting adventure.
