Castro Valley Track Club

The CASTRO VALLEY TRACK CLUB was formed in 2001 and incorporated in January of 2009. The Club is both a USA Track and Field Club (Pacific Association Club #0010) and also a Road Runners Club of America. We train and compete for track and field and for cross country. Youth membership is open for sub bantams through age 18, with membership also open for adults and masters.

Athletes can join at any point in our season. Our program is year round. The track and field season begins each year in January.

Email Coach Jim Phillips at mail@jamesjphillips.com for the current times, days, and location, of practices, as well as the cost to join.

Our youth track and field season venues include USATF meets, Junior Olympics, Hershey Meets (City/Nor-Cal/North American), All Comer Meets, and three Castro Valley 5K road races (the Castro Valley Earth Day in May, the Lake Chabot Trail Challenge in June, and the Run to the Lake in July).

Qualifiers for National Cross Country Meet 2008

High school athletes can compete for us after their last high school track meet.

USATF and Junior Olympics track meets offer the finest venues for youth track and field, as well as the most complete offering of events (example: 100 meter to 5,000 meter, steeple chase, all relays (of 100 meters/400 meters/800 meters), hurdles (including 400 meter hurdles), and all field events (pole vault, high jump, long jump, shot put, discuss, javelin), and multi-events.

The youth track and field season culminates with the National Junior Olympics at the end of July.

Immediately after track and field ends, there is off season track and field conditioning. Also, the Club starts its team cross country practices and meets, ending in Junior Olympics cross country meets, with Nationals in early December. High School athletes can compete in this after their final high school meet.
