Vancouver Thunderbirds 2018 Week of Friendship!
Calling all JD Athletes! It's time to bring your friends to practice and showcase what being a thunderbird is all about!
In an effort to encourage track and field participation, the Longest Day Kid's Road Mile, and our Thunderbird Track and Field Summer Camps all current JD athletes are encouraged to bring a friend to practice between April 30th-May 4th, 2018. Within this week, athletes have three practice options open to invite their +1 to at no cost. We are proud of what our club represents, our trained and dedicated coaching staff, and the work ethic of our athletes. As such, we look forward to using this hands on approach; encouraging others to develop a sense of personal-achievement through the sport of track and field.
