ABOUT OC GRIT

Grit is a competitive distance youth running team based in Irvine, California. Using the hills and trails surrounding the city, we devote ourselves into becoming stronger runners, eager competitors, and grittier individuals.

We are not a general fitness team nor are we another activity to fill your kid’s schedule. We are DISTANCE RUNNERS with a broad range of abilities who WANT to train hard and WANT to race the fastest kids in the nation. We seek the difficult trails and thrive in the suffering heat and cold.

Though we are serious and focused when we need to be, we come with a relaxed approach when developing their abilities. Our goal is to not burn them out before their true prime. It is our goal to get all our runners into high school as close to the front pack as possible while still being HEALTHY and HAPPY.

Age range is 7 to 14 years old.
