Lots of FUN, plus PRs in the mile on the NV track and 5 of our athletes that stepped up to the 5K and ran their best-ever times. Good time, with good times, all around!

FRIENDLY REMINDER for our to REGISTER for our RAY VANDERSTEEN “All-Comers” Track Meet on Thursday, July 11!

It's a great opportunity for our runners to compete against other local running clubs and gauge their fitness after a summer of working hard. We recommend the 1600 meter run for our younger runners and the 5K race for our more experienced athletes. Other events are options for our athletes, including picking relay teams and trying field events.

Participants in the 5K do not need to register ahead of time as it will not be FAT-timed. We are asking for a $5 cash donation on site for the 5K, and those funds will be donated to the Parkinson's Foundation charity. Further information and registration can be found in the post below.

While we will still have camp on Thursday, as a way to encourage our runners to participate in this meet, our 3-6 grade runners will have a much shorter run that morning and will be done at our normal time. Please have your athletes wear their season shirt to the meet.

Happy 4th of July from the !
