Registration for the 2024 Season Is Open!

The Twin Cities Track Club (TCTC) is excited to announce the 10th season of our youth cross country league in the Twin Cities metro. This year's league runs from August 13th through October 3rd and is open to children entering grades 1-8 in the fall of 2024. Given the rather large age-range, practices and meets will likely be split into smaller groups based on age and/or ability.

  • Como Park Zoomers

  • Highland Park Giants

  • Lake Nokomis Numbats

  • Linden Hills Leprechauns

  • West Metro Hawks (Minnetonka)

PROGRAM DATES & TIMES

  • 8 weeks from August 13th - October 3rd

  • Tuesday & Thursday evenings from 6 – 7 PM

  • All City Meet | TBD

    • The season will include an All-Twin Cities championship meet at Como Park on a Tuesday or Thursday evening in late September. Distances for the meet are 1k, 2k and 3k

Coaches & Curriculum

Each location will be coached by TCTC athletes, community runners, and parent volunteers all eager to share their passion of running. In addition to preparing your kids physically to compete in meets, the program will also focus on the mental aspects of the sport, various race strategies, the importance of both the individual and the team, and what kids can expect if they decide to compete at the next level. We will emphasize having fun by incorporating relays, obstacle courses, and other fun activities into our training program. Learn more about our passionate coaches and volunteers! TCTC will conduct background checks for all program directors, coaches and volunteers to ensure the safety and well-being of the children.

  • Early Bird Registration: $125 through July 4th

  • July Registration: $150 through July 16th

NEED BASED GRANTS

Need-based grants are available to those who cannot afford the registration fee thanks in part to our generous sponsors and grants from USATF Foundation & Run Minnesota throughout the years! Please email director@kidscityxc.com if interested in a need based grant.

There is a $25 non-refundable deposit for all registrations. Requests for refunds prior to August 1 will receive a full refund minus the non-refundable deposit. Requests for refunds after August 1 but prior to the first day of practice will receive a 50% refund of the registration cost. No refunds will be issued after the first day of practice to ensure adequate staffing for all teams.
