Weekly Schedule

vTuesday Night Runs:

Track workouts: From 5:30-7:00 p.m., jog, do sprints or stairs, or walk in a safe and lighted (in the winter) environment at the Merced College stadium.

vThursday Night Runs:

Fall Fun Runs are every Thursday night in September and October.  For 2014, that will be 9/4/14 through 10/23/14.  Distances are 1-mile, 2-mile and 3-mile.  Start time is 6:00 p.m. sharp every Thursday, at Rahilly Park.

For the rest of the year: Meet at the corner of Tuscany Ave. and Reggio Ct. in Merced at 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays for a 1-2 mile warm-up, a 3-mile fast run, and a cool-down. Whether you run sub-7:00 or sub-11:00, this is the place to be!  During hot weather we run along Bear Creek in the shade.
