Youth running in Rancho Santa Margarita

 Saddleback Running Club was established in 2007 since then our focus has been on local communities of RSM, Mission Viejo, Coto De Caza, Lake Forest, Foot Hill Ranch  and Ladera Ranch. We have been instrumental in developing young runners and preparing them for high school competition and beyond. Saddleback Running Club has changed numerous young life's by not only teaching the kids about cross country but life having them build a passion for the sport of running. Cross Country is the fastest growing sport in C.I.F., and our mission is to embrace the future by providing an opportunity for young, aspiring endurance runners to train and develop appropriately in an enjoyable, competitive atmosphere. The young athletes will be trained to be competitive; however, training will be sensible and geared toward age, experience, and ability. All of the endurance runners will be trained to race, from one mile to a 5K (3.1 miles).
