Why We're United on This
We're separate organizations with distinct identities, programs, and cultures. That's healthy. It's also true that:
A proper track benefits everyone.
More young people trying athletics. More opportunities. More growth.
We're stronger together.
When we advocate together, we're more credible, visible, and effective.
A complete facility serves the whole community.
Not just competitive athletes. Families, schools, casual runners, beginners—everyone.
We share core values.
Health, community, accessible opportunity, and getting people active.
