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.

In less than ideal conditions and true to the soul of a runner, the GVH pacers lead the way for others through a cold, windy and rainy Davis Stampede. A special shout out to Carolyn Summer, Matt Busse, Mickey Bartko and Lauren Prince for staffing the GVH tent.

Please consider volunteering during the next GVH pacing opportunity. Thank you Ernest and Mark for making these “give backs to the running community” opportunities possible.

Club Meeting:

Mark your calendar! A general club meeting will be held at Steve’s Pizza on March 14 following the Tuesday night workout. Hope to see you at the March 14 workout and club meeting.

This week's workouts:

• Tuesday (2/28) UC Davis Track; 5:45 pm warm-up; intervals start at 6:10 (see Craighton Chin's February 25 email or click here for workout information)

Special Note about Tuesday’s Workout: We did this workout 4 weeks ago and now let’s check your progression. Feel free to run this mile time trial as fast as you want; however, it is meant to run at a more comfortable interval pace where you can’t carry on a conversation but you are not spent at the finish. We will do one more track workout then after we spring our clocks forward, we will start heading out for different venues.

• Thursday Morning Track Workout (3/2); 7:45 am dynamic warmup; 8 am workout. Contact Joachim at cooldood47_2000@yahoo.com if there are questions.

• Thursday (3/2) easy pace 7 mile south Davis loop; 5:50 pm meet up at Central Park (corner C & 3 Street); departs at 5:55 -- remember to bring a light

• Saturday (3/4) 7 or 10 mile loop; 8 am meet up at Fleet Feet; departs at 8:10

Have a great week.
