Wildwood Naperville Clinic 2025

Wildwood Clinic Information

Join us in person this July in Naperville, Illinois for our Chicago Area Wildwood Running Clinic! We are excited to bring coaches and athletes together  to continue our journey to empower the young female distance runner!  This year we will have 1.5 days of programming for the coaches and 1 day for the athletes! Together we will bring expert speakers from across the country together to support girls in running as well as their coaches!

Coaches Sessions: July 17th & 18th

Day 1 Location: FAC, Madden Theater

Day 2 Location: FAC, Wentz Concert Hall and Madden Theater

Our coach session will span one and a half days, featuring 8 distinct sessions designed to challenge your thinking and expand your coaching toolkit.

And the learning doesn't stop there! Each night, we'll have two social events specifically for coaches. Night one will be a Nike hosted dinner at the local Cantina.

Athlete Session: July 18th

Location: FAC Wentz Concert Hall first session and afternoon sessions at Wentz Science Center

Just like last year, our athlete session is a super interactive workshop model. That means the athletes get to choose what they want to learn! They will pick the sessions that spark their interest, soak up all the wisdom, and then bring it back to share with your team. Attendees must register for the workshop and submit session requests by July 15th at 6pm to guarantee their session choices. Otherwise, we will select for them. Athletes will receive a message after registration with a link to sign up for their workshop choices.

Friday morning is one of the highlights of the clinic - our Fun Run from Naperville Running Company. Created by Dan Iverson, we bring close to 200 girls (clinic attendees and not) together for the love of running + community! It's just a short walk from the clinic and a great way to start the weekend.
