About Us

Everyone’s success depends on our community working together.

Welcome to the Lower East Side Five Points Runners track club. Now moving into our fifth season we continue to provide children, primarily on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the opportunity to train and compete in track, field and long distance events. The team welcomes children of all abilities from second grade through high school. Our primary goal is to promote an atmosphere of mutual respect while engaged in athletic activity; however, we also aim to:

  • Allow children to learn and display the values of sportsmanship, dedication, desire, discipline, and tenacity.
  • Provide quality training and enable competition that ensures optimal performance with minimal disruption to their academic and social lives.
  • Provide a meaningful athletic experience that will create a positive lifelong impression.
  • Ensure an environment that guarantees the health, safety, and welfare of our children.
  • Allow children to learn at their own pace and have fun while doing so.

Our season runs from September through July and covers the Indoor, Cross-country and Outdoor events in the tri-state area (USATF Region 1).
