Who: Registered runners preparing for spring track (or spring XC for ESD/VSD middle school runners).

What: Sprint, middle-distance, and distance training. Since HS track and field has begun, we will train at the Hudson’s Bay HS track, dirt track to the south of Hudson’s Bay HS, or nearby location.

When: We will aim to start and finish on-time.

Where: Start and finish location on nice days will be at the Hudson’s Bay High School Track, 1601 E McLoughlin Blvd, Vancouver, WA 98663. On terribly cold and/or windy days, we may finish at Clark College in the OSC building room. At 6:45pm, we will meet parents in front of OSC in the Red 2 parking lot.

What to Bring/Wear: Runners should attend dressed for the conditions wearing layers they can peal off as they get warm: shorts, sweat bottoms, shirt, long-sleeve shirt, windbreaker jacket, and possibly gloves and hat. They should also bring a water, small snack, and any medicines/pharmaceuticals they might need (inhaler, EpiPen, etc.).

Registration: See our Spring Track page for further details, including registration.

Who: Registered runners preparing for the sprint track season (or XC season for Evergreen/Vancouver School District Middle School girls).

What: Sprint, middle-distance, and distance training.

When: We will aim to begin and end on-time. Runners coming from their school practice, be sure to have something light to eat between practices, and some water or Gatorade. For all others, be sure to have a snack between school and practice (water/Gatorade too).

Where: Fisher Basin Park (SE 192nd Ave, Camas, WA 98607). Upon driving into the parking lot, continue straight through the stop sign and park near the end of the lot.  We will meet along the sidewalk between the parking lot and the park. We will likely use the track at Shahala MS (depending on its availability). The track is on the north side of the portable buildings.
