FALL TRAINING AND KICK-OFF THIS WEEKEND

Don't miss the opportunity to join the group for the Highland Park Fall Training kick-off. This is the 'official' start of the marathon, but you can join at any time over the next several weeks. Saturday is also the first 7:00 AM start, so set your alarms one hour earlier to make it on time. 

The team did exceptionally well this last weekend at Grandma's. The weather was warm, but everyone worked hard to reach the finish line. There were numerous PRs, qualifiers and great finishes.

See you this Saturday for the kick-off. Sign up is in the right column of the blog.

See you on the trails,

Jeff

Twin Cities Kickoff and Grandma's Best Wishes

Twin Cities Marathon is always popular for Highland Park. We do have 50 extra entries into TCM - please send your name, email address and phone number to Jan Ochocki or Mike Stoik - email addresses below - so she can make sure you receive a slot. This is a first come, first serve basis.

You'll also need to sign-up for the training class on Active. The address is list under the events section.

Lastly, you'll need to volunteer for TCM packet stuffing on 20 September 2008 or you'll need a proxy. If you or your proxy doesn't show up for the stuffing, TCM will not let you run.

MARATHON KICK-OFF is this Saturday, 14 June 2008 at the Plymouth club. This is an all-club run to celebrate summer, spring Grandma's training and start our fall training.
