About Us

Who is the Hoover Track Foundation, Inc.?

The Hoover Track Foundation (HTF) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to promote and support the sports of cross country and track and field within the City of Hoover and the surrounding communities.  The HTF accomplishes this by partnering with booster clubs, companies, schools, government agencies, and other not-for-profit agencies to develop, support, and hold cross country and track events. 

HTF owns and hosts the SE Cross Country Showdown which is held at Veterans Park in Hoover on the second Saturday each October.  We also support other meets such as the NCAA Gulf South Conference XC Championships.

This year we are partnering with USA Track & Field Alabama Association to host the 2010 USATF Junior Olympics National Cross Country Championships to be held at Veterans Park on December 11, 2010.

Proceeds from these events will be used to fund scholarships from the HTF to deserving student athletes from Jefferson and/or Shelby County, AL.  We also provide fund raising opportunities to area schools and booster organizations that help us put on these meets.  We believe this is an effective way to fund XC and Track & Field programs and to help individual athletes as well.
