Announcements (7/31/2022):

Hello GVH,

The GVH board met on Tuesday evening and discussed plans for the X-C race on the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend. We are definitely going to need a lot of volunteers to help with the PAUSATF cross country race that we will be hosting on September 4 at Lagoon Valley in Vacaville. Please save the date now and let Craighton know ASAP if you are able to help with planning and/or volunteering that day. If you are planning to race to race cross country this Fall, please know that is it possible to race and volunteer that morning.

The board also agreed to match the first $525 dollars raised in the direct donation campaign being solicited to give money to the two high schools in Woodland and one in Dixon. Hopefully everyone saw the email about how to donate to this great cause. Please contact any board member if you missed the email and need more information.

The next all-club meeting will take place on August 23 after the workout (7:15ish) in my backyard at 430 Scripps Dr. I have a pool for anyone who wants to jump in and cool off after the run. The club will likely order pizzas to be delivered but feel free to bring any beverages or other sides or desserts you may wish to share. I will have coolers with ice available.

Tuesday night workouts continue to meet at 5:45 PM for the warm up and 6:10 PM for intervals. Watch for the weekly announcement from Craighton for each week's location.

There is a Thursday morning track workout that meets at the UCD track for intervals after a dynamic warm up that begins at 7:45 AM. This group usually heads for coffee after for those who are able to stay.

The Thursday evening workouts start and finish at the south end of the Central Park at the corner of 3rd and C with runners departing at 5:55 PM. This is a 7 mile loop usually run at an easy pace.

Saturday morning workouts meet at 8:00 in front of Fleet Feet with runners heading out at 8:10 AM for a 7 or 10 mile loop. Still thinking of adding a 4 mile option for Saturday mornings. Please let me know if there is interest in this.
