If you’ve got a high school runner wanting to improve this summer, check out this out! This is an incredible opportunity for high school athletes looking to take the next step in cross country!

The Arkansas Track is hosting a cross country camp June 22-26 in Northwest Arkansas for athletes entering grades 9-12. Campers will get instruction on training, nutrition, injury prevention, racing strategy, and more — plus the chance to learn directly from collegiate and professional athletes.

Two familiar Capital City Classic names are helping make it happen:
🔥 Erin Warren — 2x Capital City Classic champion and 5th place finisher in 2026
🔥 Megan Taylor — 6th place finisher at the 2026 Capital City Classic

Both are part of ATRC and helping invest in the next generation of Arkansas distance runners.

Sounds like a fun event with a great cause!

Join as we start a new tradition and raise $$ for our annual "campership" (camp scholarship) fund! We are excited for more of the community to experience the trails here at Lake Nixon. You may register for the 5K trail run or the 1-mile fun run. We will also need many volunteers and you can use this...
