Welcome to the Junior Champs program. We are enthusiastic about the many activities planned.

The Florida Track Club is a non-profit organization established to promote running development in the community. The Junior Champs program was designed to encourage health and fitness through running and other related sports for all levels and abilities of children.

Over the last two decades Dr. Robert Cade and Mary Cade have been the supporting people for this program. Last year we earned the Gloria Dei Foundation grant to keep this wonderful event in the Gainesville area.

Daily Routine
Each day begins with stretching. This is an important part of the day to prevent injuries as well as receiving daily instructions. Children will be grouped by age and then rotated through the skills of the day. The day ends with a cool down to prevent muscle soreness.
