Fall Cross Country Running
Season
The Walton Youth Track Club (WYTC) is a track and
field club for girls and boys ages 5 to 15 which
participates in Northwest Georgia Youth Track League,
AAU, and USATF sanctioned meets. No prior experience
with running competitively is required to participate
on the WYTC team.
Our program is designed to introduce kids to cross
country running by providing an experience that is fun,
competitive, social, and informative about the sport.
Cross country races are trail runs across several types
of terrain at distances of 2,000m (1.2 miles) for kids
8 years old and under; 3,000m (1.9 miles) for kids 9
through 12 years old; 4,000m (2.5 miles) for kids 13
and 14 years old; and 5,000m (3.1 miles) for 15 year
olds.
Practice for the Fall cross country season began on
August 15, 2009, with registration and the pre-season shoe
sale from 12:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.at the "Big Peach Running
Co." store at 1062 Johnson Ferry Road in East Cobb

Regular cross country practices take place at the Sope
Creek National Recreation Area Trails on Tuesday (6:00
to 7:15 p.m.) and Thursday (6:00 to 7:15 p.m.) evenings
and on Sunday (4:00 to 5:30 p.m.) afternoons. Our club
will participate in at least five cross country meets
which will take place on Saturday mornings in September
