This week on SportsHub, we’re joined in the studio by New Age Runners, a growing Lake County–based track program making an impact on and off the track. Four of the program’s coaches sit down with us to talk about the mission behind New Age Runners, what sets the program apart and the upcoming meets they’re preparing for this season.

The conversation also highlights what it takes for this 501(c)(3) organization to continue thriving in Lake County — from community support to resources needed to keep young athletes competing at a high level. We also hear directly from six of the runners on what they hope to accomplish this season.
