Welcome!

Golden Valley Harriers

GVH is a running club located in Davis, CA dedicated to promoting running in the community. Members come in all shapes and sizes—from elite ex-college runners to folks who are just starting to run and everything in between. The club is organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations to the club are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Our Tax ID# is 14-1841731.

Everyone and anyone is welcome to come out and run with us, but we appreciate a positive attitude. (Please note that our RRCA insurance requires that runners under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.)

GVH currently meets for workouts Saturday mornings at 8 am at Fleet Feet Sports, 615 2nd Street, Davis, CA (Map, Fleet Feet website). Tuesday group runs meet at 5:45 pm at the location of the workout identified in the weekly e-mail message sent out by Craighton. Thursdays group runs meet at 5:55 pm at Central Park (corner of 3rd and C). An informal group in GVH meets at the UC Davis track on Thursday mornings at 8 am. For more details, see the weekly e-mail message sent out by Angie, or go to the Workouts and Events page.

Announcements (10103/2021):

Hello GVH!

Light yourselves up if you are running in the dark. We want to keep everyone safe as the daylight hours gets shorter.

Our final 2021 GVH Board meeting will be held via Zoom tomorrow night, Oct 11 at 7:00. Because we do not have a paid zoom account, the meeting will end promptly at 7:40. All club members are always welcome to attend board meetings. See the weekly e-mail sent out to the GVH distribution list for the Zoom link information.

If you are interested in running Western States be sure to read through Ling-ru’s e-mail about how to apply for the GVH aid station race entry for that iconic ultra running event. If you cannot find her email, let me know and I will forward you the information.

The GVH dues link has been updated to reflect the $25 price for 2022. Anyone who pays from now until the end of this year, including any new members, will be paid up through all of 2022. Tell your friends to join now! Speaking of new members, Jen Schmidt and Lisa Wells were kind enough to make new recruitment post cards for our club. They are stashed in the GVH closet at Fleet Feet so if you know of any places that would be appropriate to advertise for some new club members, please grab some cards and spread them around.

The Tuesday night workouts will continue to meet at 5:45 PM for the warm up and 6:05 PM for intervals. Watch for the weekly announcement from Craighton for each week's location.

The Thursday night 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.

Saturday morning workouts meet at 8:00 in front of Fleet Feet with runners heading out at 8:10 AM. Jake will be opening the store before/after the run if anyone needs the restroom or to store extra layers, keys, etc.
