Reds Track & Field is a united partnership of Saint John, Fredericton and UNB based programs focused on “one-team – two communities/campuses”.
Since 2011, Saint John and Fredericton Track Clubs have worked with the University of New Brunswick as partners in supporting the UNB REDS men’s and women’s Track & Field/Cross Country teams. It has helped the clubs support athletes and provide professional coaching to our members and in both communities.
This partnership is focused on two primary goals.
Athlete Excellence: Sharing our resources to deliver stronger programs that support, nurture, and inspire athletic excellence at all levels.
Growing our sport: Attracting athletes, growing our coaches/officials/leaders, hosting events, supporting facility development and being among the best in Canadian athletics.
Something For Everyone! At the Saint John Reds Track & Field Club our experienced coaches work with athletes of all ages and skill level toward personal goals, developing skills and experience in track & field. We focus on improving strength, agility and speed in running, jumping and throwing. Athletes have the opportunity to compete in a number of meets in the N.B. and the Atlantic region.
