Building Strength in the Treasure Valley

Canyon Track Club is dedicated to fostering physical fitness and athletic growth in Canyon County and the Treasure Valley. Founded on principles of athletic excellence, we provide opportunities for all ages to participate in running events activities. Our history is marked by nurturing talented athletes and hosting engaging local races, all supported by passionate volunteer coaches committed to empowering every member’s journey.

Canyon Track Club—Our Purpose
The purpose of Canyon Track Club is to serve the people of Canyon County and the surrounding areas of
the Treasure Valley, promoting physical fitness among people of all ages through running and walking
exercise. Our goal is to promote a positive environment where students of all ages can compete in Track
and Field, growing not only in their physical abilities but growing confidence. Coaches for Canyon Track
Club try to make a strong, lasting impact for each athlete. We encourage our athletes to give their best
each and every day not only to get better for themselves but to positively influence other athletes.
Canyon Track Club members and participants have included athletes from Caldwell, Vallivue, Skyview,
Homedale, Ontario, Greenleaf, Middleton, Emmett, Parma, Kuna, and Ridgevue schools, as well as
numerous private schools, charter schools, and home school associations. Many former club members
have gone on to compete at the collegiate level this decade–some winning All-Conference Events,
competing in Finals at National Events, and some winning All-American Academic Awards as well.

Canyon Track Club—Our Story
Canyon Track Club was founded in 2005 by Brian Faulks and Jim Trapp. It started out with just a hand
full of runners, but in a few short years grew into over 50 athletes. We have had athletes achieve many
different accolades through running at Canyon Track Club such as All-State and All-American Honors as
well as significant Academic Achievement Honors in the classroom.
There are no paid coaches for Canyon Track Club, Inc. Coaches for the Club have a combined 100+
seasons of coaching experience in all aspects of Track and Field. Coaches offer their time and effort,
working with athletes to develop and improve their fitness and overall technique. Coaches share expertise
in distance, sprints, hurdles, relays, jumps, and throwing. We strive to promote excellence by challenging
our athletes to become the best that they can be, yet at the same time, we encourage them to develop
running as a lifestyle habit so that they may enjoy the many health benefits of running for years to come.
