Huron Athletics is a non-profit youth distance running club founded in 2012 by lifelong runner Rick Carr to share his passion with his sons and the next generation of athletes. Based in the East Valley, Huron trains three nights a week—Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday—aligned with the USATF Arizona season from January through mid-June. Led by certified coaches, including Head Coach Rick Carr and Assistant Coach Andrew Salcido, athletes focus on building endurance, speed, and mental strength, with an emphasis on personal improvement.

 

Team membership covers meet entry fees, uniforms, and facility costs, with participation in practices and meets strongly encouraged but not required. Whether chasing personal bests or competing for national recognition, every athlete is supported in reaching their goals while gaining discipline, friendships, and a lifelong love for the sport. At its core, running is the foundation of all athletics—and Huron is where runners discover what they’re capable of.
