About Us

Since the start of The Flying Hornets, 5 years ago it has really evolved into a family/community club. Brothers and sisters have joined after their brothers and sisters were a part of the club in the past. Other family members as well have become involved with our Flying Hornets, whether joining us for a run or attending one of our seminars. What started out as a running club to train for a race has grown into an organization of students, parents, family and community members excited about the health and fitness of our community. It has also become an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to earn community service hours for their school projects. We have organized nutritional seminars for our community, performed community service, like park clean-ups and promoting other local fitness and running events. My vision for the club is to continue growing and sharing our excitement about fitness and running with others.
We have such a great variety of runners it would seem like a tough task but our training facility allows us to train together. We encourage team building through our warm-ups and activities. I think we concern ourselves with the similarities we share as runners not so much the differences. All abilities are welcome and encouraged to do the best they can. Some runners come out with the drive to become a racer, others to enjoy the social aspect of being involved in the club. They are all welcomed. What ever reason they come out, they came out. I tell my kids every day, "You could have stayed home this morning but you didn't, you decided to do something to challenge yourself to make yourself stronger and better than you were yesterday.
