What is the Youth Running Camp?The goal of Building Better Bodies Youth Runners Camp is to create a Group Running environment where almost anyone can improve their their running ability while learning to incorporate running into their very own Fitness Lifestyle. Our Youth Running Camp will be coached by Paul Anderson (a.k.a. Andy Noise) along with myself and competitive runners from the Bakersfield Distance Project.
Paul was a tri-athlete (He won the first Bakersfield triathlon) and a sub three hour marathoner, who also ran in high school and college. In recent years, he has coached at the high school level and started his own USATF running club (The Bakersfield Distance Project) and took up marathon walking. Lastly, he has been covering the local running scene via his website AndyNoise.Com since 2006.
What sets apart the Youth Program from the Adult Program is the following:
Mission of the Program
Learn Fundamentals of Cross Country rules, individual & team racing strategy, and training principles for distance runners.
Develop “championship” lifestyle.
Improvement on Individual & Team Levels.
Earn gratification and satisfaction through commitment and effort.
