Run yourown race.
Nobody else runs your lane. Real progress is personal — measured against who you were last season, not the athlete beside you. We build discipline one rep, one morning, one honest effort at a time.
But nobody gets faster alone. At Yellow City you train inside a community that shows up, pushes and celebrates every step forward. Beginners and state qualifiers share the same track, the same work ethic and the same goal: become better than you were yesterday.
Work for it. Run with us.

Founder & Coach
Butare
NCAA Division II National Champion · 6-time All-American
Build confidence. Develop character. Love the journey.
Hi, I'm Butare! I'm a former NCAA Division II National Champion and 6-time All-American in track and field, with a passion for coaching and helping young athletes reach their full potential.
Sports have played a huge role in shaping who I am, teaching me the value of discipline, perseverance, hard work, and faith. Now, I want to use my experience to inspire and equip the next generation of athletes.
I believe coaching is about more than winning races, breaking records, or achieving personal bests. It's about building confidence, developing character, discovering your God-given potential, and learning to love the journey. Above all, I believe in doing everything for the glory of God.
My mission is simple: to help young athletes become the best versions of themselves, both on and off the track, while developing a lifelong love for sports.
