First Travel Run

Wednesday will be our first travel run of the season.  Make sure you have your travel waivers filled out and signed by your parent/guardian.  Most of us will meet at Hillcrest like normal, but if you live close to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, you can just meet at the park and ride lot and wait for the caravan to arrive.  It will take us about 20 minutes to get to the park and ride lot from Hillcrest.

Remember we have a young team, so we need plenty of parents/older runners to drive.

We usually finish trail runs at about 8:00 and make it back to Hillcrest at about 8:30.  If picking up your child that late is an issue, we usually have plenty of friendly teammates to give rides to runners who need them.

Our second travel run will be Friday.  This run will be on the Dimple Dell trail and will start from the Wrangler Trailhead on 13th East.  For this run, we usually just have everyone meet at the trailhead rather than carpool up from Hillcrest.

Make sure mileage tracker sheets are being filled out.  The evening runs are important to help legs get recovery between our harder runs (like trail runs).

We had a good first week of summer practice last week.  We had more kids show up for the first day of practice than I believe we have ever had.  Keep up the good work, log those miles and no zeros.
