The Ocala Distance Project looks to introduce a love of running to the youth of our community. Through hard work and sound coaching, we will look to qualify runners to the various Florida State meets as well as the USATF and AAU National meets. We want to introduce a lifelong love of the sport of distance running. We strive to instill a work ethic that carries over into other aspects of the children’s lives. One of our motto’s is “We work hard, so winning comes easy.” The Ocala Distance Project is open to athletes ranging from 8-18 who plan on specializing in distances from 800m to a 5k.
