Mark your calendars for the weekend of December 11-13 in Lexington, Kentucky, home of the 2020 USATF Junior Olympic National Championships!

All meet information is posted on our Join the Team page.  If you registered your child for the 2020 year to compete, then your registration for both the Scary Run and Junior Olympics is covered.  Many of you did this so your child could run in the Teddy Twilight last March. 

If your child wishes to run the USATF Junior Olympics, be sure their USATF membership is up to date. USATF will publish race information as it becomes available.  A Zoom call is scheduled October 4 with the USATF Youth Chairs who will then disseminate that information to club coaches.  That information will be updated on the Join the Team page, shared on our Facebook team page, and also via email.

NOTE: A couple of thoughts going into nationals for families to consider: First, the 2021 USATF XC Junior Olympic race will also be in Lexington, Kentucky (2020 and 2021). Second, we will do our best to field full teams by age group and gender. The age divisions, which can be found online, are as follows:

• 8 & Under (born 2012 - present)

• 9-10 (born 2010-2011)

• 11-12 (2008-2009)

• 13-14 (2006-2007)

• 15-16 (2004-2005)

• 17-18 (2002-2003)

Please communicate with Coach Dave on whether or not your child will be participating in this national race. Taking into consideration all that is involved (i.e., travel, hotel, food, registration), if you wish to wait and see if we can field full teams (by age and gender), that is fine. RSVP by October 15 so everyone involved is on the same page (coaches, runners, parents). Whisper age and gender divisions should be near finalized by October 31. This will be a fluid and evolving process and your patience and input are appreciated.
