Welcome to the Without Limits Trailblazers Youth Running Team! Our practices are divided into two focus groups: Sprint & Agility and Distance. Below, you'll find options tailored to your child’s needs, based on parent feedback and busy schedules.
Sprint & Agility athletes can choose between a monthly or weekly plan. For convenience, you can opt for automatic billing each month, so you won’t need to worry about renewing. Distance athletes can sign up for either the season or monthly, with the same option for automatic billing if you choose the monthly plan. For seasonal memberships, they will automatically expire at the end of the season.
If your child can only attend practice once a week, that’s no problem! You can choose that option now and decide later whether to focus on Distance or Sprints.
We send out a weekly newsletter to keep you updated on practice times, upcoming races, games, opportunities, and any location changes. Thank you for considering us, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions before joining or at any time during your membership. Contact Us Here

About Us
The WOL-Trailblazer Youth Mission is about running with purpose, blazing new trails, and forging connections through the challenge of running. Established in 2007, Without Limits aims to develop individuals into well-rounded runners—mind, body, and spirit. Each race, practice, strength routine, and workout provides us with opportunities to grow and learn.
To be #TrailblazerStrong means believing in your passion and uplifting those around you. Together, we are truly better. When you join the Trailblazer family, you become part of a community where everyone matters, is recognized, and is loved for who they are. We are more than just runners or athletes; we choose to lace up our shoes and embrace the challenge.
Our youth team includes both distance runners and sprinters, with a primary focus on athlete development—from speed and form to strength and endurance.
