Both the park and the route are largely shaded by big, old trees for running comfort. -Registration begins at 7am/First runner starts 7:30am.

NO C.O.C. TRACK ACCESS BEGINNING 08.04.26!!!

We have lost the use of C.O.C. track for the next few months due to the start of the football season. Despite working with C.O.C. they cancelled our August bookings today. August is always a tough time to get track access; however, we are working to find an alternate track and will send out separate updates as soon as we have secured a track location.
 
For now, beginning August 4th, Track Workouts will be on your own. Duane R. Harte Park has 100 meter increments marked off up to 1 mile (1600 meters). The markings ‘run’ from the park toward Starbucks.
 
Sorry for the inconvenience, we will let you know as soon as we have secured Track Access elsewhere.

A small group of SCR members ran in the Green Valley Lake trail race this weekend!  Jason M. and Phil H. ran in the half marathon where Phil placed 1st in his age group!  Paola H. and Nikki M. ran in the 10k and both placed 2nd in their age groups!  A huge congrats to all of them for representing our club so well!

Track was a little cooler than last week, but still pretty hot!  Join us on Tuesday Nights for some speed work!

The C.O.C. Cross Country Series is officially underway!  We kicked off Race #1 this week with a hot one!  Pretty good club turnout, but I know we can do better!  Join us this next Thursday (07.23) for Race #2!  Remember, you only need to complete 2 this year to qualify to run in the Final on August 13th!

Running can be best enjoyed when shared with friends and family.  This 4th of July, Pat D. and his son Ryan ran together in Lake Charles, then recreated a victory celebration they did 10 years ago after running in Newhall.  Head heights might have changed, but the joy of running together has remained the same!

What a great day it was for our 42nd Annual Independence Day Classic!  With a completely sold out event, a live DJ, and perfect weather, we had over 1,000 people take to the streets to compete in our Kids K, 5K, and Masters Walk!  Thank you to everyone who came out and ran, volunteered, or simply hung out.  It was a great way to kick off anyones 4th of July activities!  See you all again next year!

Weekly Club Runs

Sunday Long Runs

A nice 10 mile loop course with an option for a shorter distance closer to 3.5 miles.  If you are an early riser, this is a great way to get a run in with a friendly group and enjoy some coffee afterward at the local Starbucks!

6:30am – Granary Square, 25830 McBean Pkwy, Valencia, CA 91355

Tuesday Night Track

*** UPDATE *** due to football practices starting at C.O.C. we currently do not have Track access. We are working on securing Track access at another location and will update when we have it. For now, the posted workouts will need to be ‘on your own’. Duane R. Harte Park has 1600 meters in 100 meter increments marked out on the Paseo running toward the Starbucks on Newhall Ranch and Bouquet Canyon.
 
Weekly track workout hosted/coached by Phil Howard.  Coach Howard provides a different workout each week, designed to increase your speed and endurance.  All levels welcome!
 
Club members only.
 
Please bring water only (no sports drinks).
 
Watch the social feeds and/or Martin’s weekly emails for track workouts/location.

Thursday Night Tempo

Our usual Thursday Night Tempo runs will be replaced by the C.O.C. Cross Country Race Series from July 16th thru August 13th.  We encourage anyone who wants to run on Thursday Night to join this event and meet up together for some fun (and very challenging) 5k running!

Here is a link to the event where you can get all the details on time, location, and cost!

Hope to see you there!
