Hello Runners!

We wanted to send out the last post of the 2021 Summer Season and wish everyone the best of the luck at the race this weekend. We will see some of you at dinner tonight and the rest of you on the hill heading into Balboa Park Sunday morning. You have put in the work and I know you are ready for the race. 

Remember there is no run on Saturday but we are back at it next Tuesday if you are signed up for the fall season. You should have already received your Welcome text if you are registered.   

See you on Sunday and have an amazing race! 

Registration for the Fall 2021 Season

Race Day Prep & Review

We did our full race prep this past Saturday but if you have any question please feel free to ask on Tuesday.  We’re meeting near the drop off point for the AFC Half Marathon which is where you have to catch the buses to get shuttled to the start line.  We’ll go over some of the details of what to do on race morning.
