Wildwood EDU
Wildwood Running is excited to launch a new path for learning! As a non-profit we deeply believe in offering educational sessions that are accessible to all. That is why we created Wildwood EDU!
Wildwood EDU are free educational sessions. We believe that education can lead to growth and change in the sport of running for girls and that comes with hearing from experts, clinicians and coaches who do this work regularly.
Each virtual session will occur one time per month and will be free to all attendees. The content will be centered around the female bodied runner but coaches & parents can learn from this content as well! Sometimes the content may be more geared towards the girls. And sometimes the lens may be focused toward the coach or parent but we feel strongly that everyone can apply the information into their individual practice. We will select speakers we feel are doing great work in the community and can provide attendees with tools to support girls in running.
Each session can be viewed live or via recording on your own time. To signup for Wildwood EDU, simply click on the button below and provide us with your name and email. Each month you will be sent an email with the topic, speaker and date/time of the session along with a zoom link to attend.

Next EDU session information
Monday, August 31st at 5:00 PM PT /8:00 PM ET
Join us THIS MONDAY 8/31 for our August Wildwood EDU! We will be learning about long-term athlete development with Fran Cusick, head coach of Battle Road Track Club and girls cross country and track coach at Tewksbury Memorial High School.
Fran has spent over a decade coaching distance runners from the high school through post-collegiate level. He is the head coach of Battle Road Track Club, an elite post-collegiate training group of 100+ athletes in Boston, and has coached at Tewksbury Memorial High School since 2015. During his time at Tewksbury, he has developed multiple All-American and state championship athletes and was named Boston Globe Coach of the Year in 2017 and 2019. He is also the director of Stowe Running Camp and a former competitive runner with a 2:32 marathon to his name.
This session will explore what it looks like to develop runners for the long term: how to build a team culture that keeps athletes healthy and happy, and how to encourage a life-long love for running. Fran will explore the purpose of high school sports, how to think about training load and race schedules, and what athletes actually remember when it's all said and done. Whether you are an athlete, a fellow coach, or a parent, this one is for you.
