This Is Our Story.

Although founded unofficially in 2015, we became an official club in 2018. All our coaches are volunteers who are Safe Sport-certified and background-checked. We keep our costs low because we want to provide a club sport for everyone. Our goal not only is to develop competitive kids in track & field and cross country, but also to build their character. We focus on individual accomplishments and personal bests, whole athlete development, and team building.

Great club so glad we found it and the coaches are incredible. Valley flash feels like a family could not say enough to describe how wonderful Coach SHANNON is.

-Jonathan Aroo

Valley Flash has been amazing for our daughter. The skills she has learned and the relationships she has created have been outstanding. The coaches love the sport and it shows in their dedication to the team. I’m absolutely thankful we are a member of the Valley Flash team.

-Katie Sulpizio

Valley Flash Running Club has been dedicated to pushing my daughter towards her running goals and doing it in a way that builds strength, dedication, and commitment. Each coach brings so much talent to the club and they really strive to create meaningful bonds. This club really cares about the betterment of each child, both on and off the course, track & field or cross country. IF your child is just starting or a Junior Olympian, this club is for you!
