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 meets for workouts at Fleet Feet Sports, 615 2nd Street, Davis, CA (Map, Fleet Feet website). Group runs are on Tuesdays (5:45 pm), Thursdays (5:55 pm) and Saturdays (8 am). An informal group in GVH meets at the UC Davis track on Thursday mornings at 8 am. For more details, go to the Workouts and Events page.

Sophia Yin Mile Time Trial, Tuesday, October 22, 6:15 pm. Rachel Boddy Send off 7:15 pm, Pizza & Pints. As a remembrance to Sophia Yin, a long time GVH'er, we're trying something new in 10 days! Three separate timed mile runs! Sub 6 minute mile, sub 7 minute mile, sub 8 minute at the UCD Track. Meet as usual at Fleet Feet, warm up to the track, get a few sprints in and give it a go! Quicker runners can join subsequent time trials to encourage our team members.

Plus our GVH mate Rachel Boddy is heading to The Netherlands for a long term gig... in November for work and study --a few of us will meet at the new Pizza & Pints, 3rd & B Street after the run to say bon voyage!

WSER Slot Submittal....GVH is fortunate to manage the Cal 1 aid station each June with club volunteers (if you haven't done it...it is fun)! Each aid station captain can award a WSER entry to someone who has demonstrated a strong record of volunteering to the running community, especially for the WSER and GVH. See the e-mail from Mike or contact the two aid station captains for more information (Ling and/or Bruce).
