Announcements (6/12/2022):
Hello GVH,
Looks like we survived the heat and will be granted a short reprieve. No big weather excuses this week so get out there and run!
We still need a few pacers for the Moonlight 10 Miler here in Davis on July 9. Please follow this link to sign up if you think you might be able to help.
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.
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.
