About Cross-Country
For Youth

Mission

Our mission is to impact the lives of youth with skills to run cross country and to live health lives with character. (CCFY) is a unique fitness program that introduces young people to cross-country training, character-building, nutrition concepts and social-emotional training to develop the whole person. Cross Country For Youth focuses on helping children learn to run cross country and live healthy lives with character. In fulfilling that mission, we are addressing the two most important components of a child's development at the most vulnerable time in their lives.  We're addressing their need for great health and great character.
