WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE

Santa Clarita Runners

Hard to get a solid count this week, but it was another 60-ish member turnout for Tuesday Night Track!  Temperatures felt much more bearable than last week (mid 80’s?) and we had a great speed workout to help us keep in shape for our Thursday Night COC Cross Country Summer Series run!

Race #1 is in the books for this years COC Cross Country Race Series!  Thanks to George, Paola, Chris L., Phil, Martin, Paul, and all the other club members who helped setup and teardown the timing gear.  It’s a fun race to run (or is it?), but serving as the official race timers is a great way that our club helps out in the running community.  One down and Five to go!

From July 10th thru August 14th, our Thursday Night Tempo run will be replaced with the College of the Canyons Cross Country Summer Series!  Sign up and run with us while supporting the C.O.C. Cross Country Team!

Our club is providing the race timing for this series, so please consider showing up early (5:30pm) to help setup, then stick around afterward to help take everything back down!  See you there!

A VERY BIG CONGRATS to Ryan Painter and Lexi Fernandez, our Overall Top Male and Female Finishers!  And a very big THANK YOU to Patrick Downing for putting together such a wonderful event!  We had over 1,200 participants sign up across all three of our events, and our 5K sold out!  Thank you everyone who volunteered your time and energy to make sure this event went off without a hitch!  We couldn’t have done it without all of you!
Thank you to all our amazing volunteers for helping 864 individuals have a fun and smooth experience picking up their race packets!    Only 339 left to check in Friday morning!  Good luck morning crew!  Fun starts all over again at 5am for volunteers!  Get some sleep!

We had a lot of fun running around the trails of Central Park tonight!  Silly me, I forgot to take a picture of the ENTIRE group. . .we had around 12-15 members turn out to run from the Community Gardens down to (and thru) the Rabbit Hole, then climb up behind the Dog Park where we split into 2 groups.  My group tackled the climb to the water tower and ran some of the trails up there before heading back down and joining up with the rest of the group running around the park (and repeating the Rabbit Hole again for some!).  So sorry not to have pictured the rest of the group!  The camera went up the ridge!  🙂
