A complete running program for students of Henley Middle School
Training Programs
Cross Country
Training for the cross country season kicks off at the very beginning of the school year and is a great way for new runners to build up their endurance quickly. It doesn't matter if you've never run before — a majority of our new members are beginners! Cross Country wraps up in November with the Albemarle County Championships and States.
Indoor Track
In the last three years our indoor track program has gone from just a way to keep our athletes in shape over the winter to one of Virginia's largest middle school programs. Indoor track runs from December through February.
Track & Field
Track & Field runs from late February through May. If you love racing, running, jumping, or just throwing things — this is the activity for you. Henley is a fierce competitor in our region.
Off-Season Conditioning
Off-season practice sessions are a great way for our runners to ramp up their training in advance of the official season start. Practices are held in the mornings at Crozet Park July & August.
