For many kids in Bozeman, it was us, the Bozeman Track Club. Since 1995 we&#8217;ve been focused on providing supportive and skilled instruction in Cross Country and Track and Field events to Middle School and High School athletes. Sometimes we work in conjunction with the school district, but mostly we operate as a volunteer club.\u00a0 We are a bit different from other sports clubs in that we only practice a few times a week, take whole seasons off, are low-cost, and everyone gets to participate equally.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2565-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24407\" src=\"https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2565-1-300x159.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2565-1-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2565-1-768x408.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2565-1-1030x547.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2565-1-1500x797.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2565-1-710x375.jpg 710w, https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2565-1-705x375.jpg 705w, https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2565-1-450x239.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now that it&#8217;s springtime we are holding our Track &amp; Field season at the shiny new GHS Track. It&#8217;s a great place for kids to try a new event or to focus on their discipline and compete at a regional USATF meet. Come Fall we run a Cross Country program for all middle school-age children that has gotten a lot of recognition for its welcoming and accessible vibe.<\/p>\n<p>By being so accessible to everyone we are able to get a lot of kids into running, jumping, and throwing.\u00a0 Some get hooked on it and go on to do amazing things.\u00a0 Others choose other activities to focus on and maybe find it again later in life.\u00a0 We believe that running should be like a foreign language, everyone should be exposed to it!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_1283.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24408\" src=\"https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_1283-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_1283-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_1283-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_1283-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_1283-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_1283-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/winddrinkers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_1283-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It takes a community of runners to do something like this and you are a big part of our success.
