The Tamalpa Bobcat Spring Track Season will begin March 24th at the College of Marin track and host 8 practices each Sunday (no practice Easter Sunday) until May 19th. Practices will be held from 4-5 at the track. On May 19th the Bobcats will have a track meet for their last official event. This meet will take place from 3 to 5 p.m.
We will continue our SENIOR BOBCATS PROGRAM: for young athletes who want to
and can train for longer races such as 5k or just improve their aerobic base.
At our first practice we will have a time trial for those students interested in the Senior Bobcats. For those students who are interested and able to run longer distances they will train with our coaches who will specifically work towards building an aerobic base, preparing for a 5k at our last practice which will be a track meet, and run a few track races. Any Bobcat who can run the full two miles without stopping at any point in the season can start training with the Senior Bobcats.

For our newer runners and younger bobcats (ages 4-12 but some younger siblings join with families and some older siblings come as well) we will continue to have the introduction to track and field with the same format as previous years:
1. 2 lap warm up, 1 lap warm up and 1 lap drills
2. Stretching
3. Stations which include long jump, throwing, hurdles, and sprints
4. 15-20 minutes of walking or jogging where runners earn 1 foot per mile and 1 gummy per mile. The purpose of this is to set goals, run/walk with your family and friends, encourage each other and go farther each week as a team
All Bobcat participants will get:
1. Bobcat T-shirt ( green this year)
2. Necklace with 1 foot charm per week for participation and 1 foot charm per week for each mile run or walked
3. Ribbon and award at last track meet - May 19th!
Cost per season this year is $100 per individual and $150 for a family (2 or more).
