Berkshire Thunder is now Berkshire Thunder & Lightning! We are now a boys and girls youth Track & Field Club!
Berkshire Thunder (boys) & Berkshire Lightning (girls) have combined their summer Track Clubs to provide boys and girls 5th - 12th grade an opportunity to explore the world of running and to improve their overall physical conditioning in a relaxed and informal setting. Berkshire Thunder & Lightning welcomes new runners who want to begin to run and to those that already love to run and want to share their passion for running to others.
