Regular Runs: The CCRC is still meeting every Sunday at 9am at the F st bridge in Salida for easy group runs of an hour or so.
The Speedwork Group meets at the same location every Tuesday at 12:15pm for a little faster running (repeats, intervals, etc) mixed in with easy running.
Snowshoe runs: CCRC is meeting on the following dates for 60-90+ minute snowshoe outings. Sat. Jan 23, Sat Feb, 13, 20 and 27. We will meet at 9 am and go to a different destination each week. We are considering a very interesting longer point to point adventure on Feb 20. Our mainly out and back routes may be semi packed to unpacked, which will help slow the stronger /faster runners down and keep people together.
We have some free loaner snowshoes for you to use if you do not have a pair. Snowshoeing is easy to do and the best and most specific form of winter cross taining for runners. It is a fantastic low impact workout. Call Tom at 539-4112 if you want to go on any of these, to get the meeting place and other details.
Run through Time March 13. The 5th annual Run Through Time marathon, half marathon and 2 mile fun run is scheduled for Saturday March 13.
This is the club’s largest open event, with up to 300 runners participating, download an application.
CCRC members in good standing get a $5.00 discount off any of the entry fees. The early registration discount price ends Feb 18, so enter early to guarantee your self a spot in this event.
New this year is registration and a finish/postrace area at the Salida Steamplant.
As always we need volunteers to help work aid stations, the finish line, do results data entry, and all sorts of other things. You can help during the event if you are not running, and there are many other things that you can do in the hours/days before or after the run which would still allow you to run race day also.
Contact Jon at 539-7626, Tom at 539-4112, or email chaffeerunners@yahoo.com to volunteer.
2010 Upcoming Running Events.
We will keep CCRC members updated on other runs, gatherings and events throughout the year. We host a number of interesting runs, a run/BBQ, and other running related things throughout the year that only CCRC members are invited to.
