Other info:

Practice and meets are encouraged but not required.

Please wear comfortable, properly fitted running shoes and layers of clothing to accommodate all weather.

Please also bring a labeled water bottle for your use.

We suggest that you don't eat a large, heavy-sitting meal or snack before you come. Those will most likely cause uncomfortable stomach cramps. Save the protein and dairy for after the workout. Graham crackers, bagels, granola bars, bananas, and other similar, plain foods that sit well with you are good options.

Weather plan:

If it is raining heavily - no practice.

If the threat of strong storms is close - no practice.

If it is lightly raining - we will run but dress accordingly.

If it is not raining - we will practice as planned.

Please also do what is best for your child and family in less than ideal conditions. As always, practices and meets are optional.

If you did not get registered for our club make sure you click on 2013 Track Information, download, and bring the registration form and fee form to the first practice you can attend.

Merton Area Running Club was started in Merton, Wisconsin in the spring of 2006. The Merton Area Running Club is here to give youth athletes ages 6-14, in the Lake Country area, a chance to experience the wonderful world of running. MARC is a club that participates in outdoor track and field, indoor track and field, and cross country. This club was a huge success in its first several years, because we were able to give over 100 children the exhilarating and challenging experience of running track and field and cross country.

Merton is located just north of Delafield, WI and just East of Hartland, WI. Merton is a feeder school to Arrowhead Unified School District. Merton Area Running Club is a youth running club that is registered and certified by USATF as our governing body.
