Legacy Runners Track Club
Building Champions On and Off the Track
Who We Are
Legacy Runners is a nonprofit youth track and field organization based in Homewood, Illinois. Founded in 2009 by Head Coach Zontavius Johnson and Joi Johnson, we are committed to more than just running—we’re building discipline, confidence, and leadership in young athletes across the Chicago Southland region.
As a 501(c)(3) organization and proud member of USATF and AAU, we provide competitive opportunities and mentorship in a family-first environment designed to help kids grow physically, mentally, and emotionally.
