01 / THIS IS ERW

A team to
grow with.

The races take us places.
Elgin is where it begins.

Since 2016, Elgin Road Warriors has brought young athletes together through track & field, cross country and race walking.

Head Coach Jose “Coach U” Uriostegui received AAU’s 2022 Zone C Coach of the Year award. At ERW, his work continues alongside a coaching team and families who make each season possible.

Our weekday home is Wing Park. Come find your event, get to know the team, and ask what your first season could look like.
