PACK A WORKING HEADLAMP IN THE CAR - FALL GETS DARK, ESPECIALLY AT ROUND LAKE!
WHO: Registered Whisper runners
WHAT:
4:15-5:15pm, beginning middle distance and distance running training.
5:30-6:45pm, intermediate & advanced middle distance and distance running training.
WHEN: Please drop your child off no earlier than 5-minutes before the scheduled start time.
WHERE: Pacific Park (1515 N.E. 164th Ave - Vancouver, WA). Using the PDF map as a guide, please park (drop-off) in/at the parking lot between the Off-Lease Dog Park and Extreme Sports Park (Skate Park). Coach Dave will meet all runners at the large, covered picnic shelter located near the Community Play area. Training at this location will include running a variety of intervals on the marked (with orange 12" cones) trail. The outside loop is approximately 1800m, with 1600m being dirt and compact gravel.
WEATHER & WHAT TO WEAR/BRING: Please be sure your child is dressed for the conditions. Wearing layers that can easily be taken off and wrapped around their waistline is advised. A headlamp will be encouraged once the nights begin to fall a little earlier, which is around mid-October. Other items to consider: a towel to dry off and keep your car from getting messy (sometimes the kids track in dirt from runs), and a waist belt that can carry a phone (if your child has a phone) in case they get lost (while it’s happened only twice in nine years, it does happen - for the record, the kids were fine, and they were back at the start/finish before the end of practice).
