ABOUT GONE RUNNING
Founder and owner, Bob Andrew, aims to provide positive experiences through running and fitness training that ultimately lead to a vibrant and healthy lifestyle. The Gone Running program is designed to boost your child's confidence and improve their performance in any sport they choose to participate in, including soccer, football, basketball, and baseball. Gone Running caters to each child’s current ability level, whether they are beginners, intermediate, or advanced. By making fitness enjoyable, we ensure the best, most consistent, and lasting results. When children have fun being active, they are more likely to continue these habits into adulthood. The Gone Running training program lasts between 10 to 14 weeks and is perfectly structured to prepare kids for each season's Junior Olympics competition.

Program Locations
Chesterfield, Manalapan, Marlboro, Manasquan, and Middletown
​Times vary on location

​
ABOUT WORKOUT WEDNESDAY
Join us for a professional approach to running and track & field training on Wednesday evenings at Mater Dei Track. This comprehensive workout program is designed for adults and youth of all skill levels, including beginners, intermediate, and advanced runners. The program includes warm-up techniques, dynamic drills, endurance and speed training, strength training, flexibility exercises, and mindfulness practices. To ensure a focused and effective training environment, adult and youth groups will work out separately. 
 Youth participants who sign up for the seasonal Train & Race package will be part of the Shore A.C. Youth Competition Team at club-sponsored events and local favorites. To receive a singlet, year-round event discounts, and club communications, all youth competitors must be active members of Shore A.C.
