The Running Clinic of Champions provides boys/girls, coaches, and adult runners the opportunity to receive tips, training methods, and experience "hands on" drills from All-Americans, world record holders and elite coaches. The clinic, modeled after a similar one used in Florida and Georgia is designed to improve speed, endurance, running form, technique in field events, and quickness in any sport.

The clinic was started in Clarksburg in 2004 with just over 60 participants. In 2005, the clinic expanded to three locations - Bridgeport, Parkersburg, and Charleston (just under 200 attended) - and awards scholarship money. The money from entry fees are used first to cover speakers lodging and transportation, printing, and advertising, with all remaining money given back as scholarships.

Additional information about upcoming clinics will be available on www.RunWV.com. You may also call (706) 367-8339.
