What an incredible day! 💚🏃‍♀️

Athens Athletics Club was SO excited to host the Wildwood Running Camp at Ohio University, welcoming nearly 150 female cross country athletes for a day focused on learning, growth, and community.

Athletes participated in sessions on mindset, RED-S awareness, nutrition, movement, injury prevention, mobility, and more. A huge thank you to our presenters Melissa Lodge, PhD, Danielle Beardsley, Dan Iverson, Jessica Arquette, and the amazing Ohio University Physical Therapy students (OHIO Physical Therapy) who led hands-on movement and mobility clinics and helped make the day such a success.

Watching so many young runners invest in their health, performance, and love for the sport was inspiring. We can’t wait to see what these athletes accomplish this season!
