Bill Bowerman Legacy Track and Field Clinic with World Class Coach-Harry Marra presented by Beynon Sports

We are excited to be hosting a track and field coaches clinic with renowned coach Harry Marra. Marra will instruct the clinic at the Maupin Deschutes River Athletic Complex in Maupin, Oregon. The goal and vision from Bill Bowerman's son Jon, is to give access to high-quality coaching techniques to small school coaches. The clinic provides a unique chance for coaches to receive personal mentorship from Marra and then immediately apply these insights to their athletes on the second day of the event. This hands-on experience will lead to immediate improvements in athlete performance.
