We Run Together - Community Run - SFRC Sunday at 10:30

Bobcat Families join us Sunday at 10:30 to run or walk 2.63 miles at SFRC.

Wear your Bobcat t-shirt! The course will go out and back on the bike path towards Sausalito. There is pavement and a bit of trail next to the side walk.  I will be there to record mileage for any bobcat member who shows up. I will also pass out your charms for the week.

We will still have the afternoon Bobcats practice at 4 at Marin Catholic!

This event is being hosted by Kathy Johnson and SFRC.

We would like to invite the entire Bay Area running community to join us for a 2.62 mile fun run to celebrate and share in the spirit and camaraderie of the upcoming Boston Marathon on April 21st, and demonstrate that runners from all over the country are in this together.

We are partnering with the SF-Marin Food Bank and ask that everyone please bring a non-perishable food item to donate to help those in our community that are in need.

Our friends from Hoka OneOne will be on hand with demo shoes if you would like to try out a pair of Hokas on the run. Hoka elite athlete Sage Canaday (2013 Lake Sonoma 50 Winner, 2:16 marathoner) will be hanging out to chat with runners!

Locals Osmo Nutrition will set up jugs of sports drink for pre and post run!

For food donations, the SF-Marin Food Bank needs the same non-perishable quality foods that runners eat! Granola bars, nut butters, soup, beans, cereals, canned tuna and salmon, canned fruits and vegetables - just don't bring anything in glass or that is perishable. We will have large barrels at SFRC from Friday, April 11th to Monday, April 14th to collect food donations.

For the run we will head out to the Mill Valley-Sausalito bike path for 2.62 miles, though you are of course welcome to run a bit longer as well! We will be leaving from the store at 10:30am. This is an all-levels and all-ages fun run and you are welcome to walk as well. Come a little bit early to try on some Hokas if you would like to take them on the run.

If you have run the Boston Marathon in the past then show up in your Boston race gear!

4th Bobcats Practice - 64 Bobcats ran 88 miles!

Great job Bobcats!!

Week #4: 66 Bobcats ran 88 miles HERE

Coach Liz, Frank, Will, & Connor took 8 Bobcats out to the College of Marin Bike Path loop and ran 2.6 miles!! Meanwhile, 56 Bobcats ran and walked for 15 minutes around the track collecting popsicle sticks as they went. Many of the groups experimented with relays and speed play in the first half of practice. The Bobcats did a great job managing the Rugby game that was going on. Hopefully next week we will have the track to ourselves again. Here is a link to more photos from today! Hope to see those Bobcat families who missed this week's practice next week!

Week 3: 70 Bobcats Ran 91.5 miles!!!

Congratulations Bobcat Families!

70 Bobcats ran 91.5 miles this week. We had a great practice. A few new members may still need to pick up their water bottles (these are available weekly at the sign up table where you pick up your name tags.  The new t-shirts will be in by our practice on April 13th!

A few news items:

I observed that one parent brought carrot sticks for students when they finished their run. Next week I will bring something from the farmer's market for students to have as their "treat" after the run. I hope its a hit for the bobcats as well as the parents. We will keep the gummy bear option as well as have a healthier treat! :)

Some of our older bobcats are itching for more mileage. Our coaching staff will start to transition next week and those bobcats who are preparing for the 5k race at the Marin Memorial Day races may go out with some of the coaches on the Creek Loop to complete a 2.1 mile loop during our training session. We will update bobcats about this next week.

Remember parents if you have any questions, suggestions, or clarifications feel free to email me. (Mary - marymfagan@gmail.com)
