Welcome to the Laguna Elite Running Club
Cross Country is a unique and amazing sport. It requires a blend of speed, strength, and mental toughness. Runners compete over 3-mile or 5K courses that offer varied terrain, hills, and sometimes the unexpected (it’s an all-weather sport). Training, prior to the season, is essential to the success of any runner. Unlike many other sports, Cross Country requires the athletes to have aerobic endurance, strength, and speed. No one is just born with the ability to compete at the high school level in Cross Country. The fitness required to compete well during the season is earned in the months leading up to the season.
With this knowledge in mind, the Laguna Elite Running Club offers pre-season training for novice, returning, and elite runners who want to compete well in the upcoming season. Runners attending club practice are divided based on age and ability and will receive appropriate training based on their goals and experience. Any high-school aged runner is welcome to attend. This club is private, and is not affiliated with any local high school.
