The Bruin Nation is an organization formed to promote youth distance running within the greater Sam Barlow High School community. We provide developmental running & athletic programs for K-5th grade and competitive Cross Country & Track programs for Middle School (6-8th Grade) and High School (9-12th Grade). We also serve as the Booster Club for Sam Barlow High School’s Cross Country Team, “Barlow XC”.
