Mission Statement

Our mission at the Forest Grove Youth Running Club is to provide elementary and middle school aged students in Oregon’s Western Willamette Valley the opportunity to enjoy, learn about, and improve at the sport of running - at little to no cost.

Our program welcomes all ability levels, with the hope of developing lifelong athletes and teammates.

Donations

Our program survives (and thrives) because of our sponsors. Donations this season will be used to fund:

  • Race Fees: FGRC is planning on attending 3 away races this Spring. Meet fees vary, but on average are around $15 per athlete per track & field meet. We do not believe that every athlete on the team will compete at every meet this year, but we have made it a stretch goal to make it possible for every athlete to be able to attend each meet.

  • Uniforms: Each season we order additional jerseys, to replace lost jerseys and ensure there are enough for every athlete.

  • Timing System: Our club is making a one time investment of $2,500 this season in a timing system that will be used to to host our own races.

  • Track Equipment: As the team has grown, we need to invest in additional equipment (Speed Ladders, Cones, Box Jumps, Javelins, Discuses).

  • Team Tent: As track meets can last up to 8 hours, it is customary for track teams to bring a team tent to away meets. The team tent acts as a home base for the team, and a place to store belongings while the athletes are racing. Currently, we use Forest Grove High School's track tent when it is available.
