• Track Workouts
This year we're spicing it up! Dorette Franks of Trifiniti will be coaching 2010 track. Track will be tailored toward key club races throughout the year. Your personal paces will be determined through 2mile Time Trials or best-effort running races. We will also host supported weekend runs and run clinics throughout the year (look for the announcements and calendar postings).
Wednesday nights from February 10th through November 16. Usually at Kezar Stadium, but we will be moving the track location around a little bit this year. Track starts at 7:00 PM. Please be there at 6:45pm to check-in and warm up. We meet in the stands on the southwest corner of the track. All paces, abilities, and experience levels are welcome.
The FIRST 3 SESSIONS of 2010 are FREE to all Active GGTC Members (Feb 10, 17, 24th).

• Weekend Runs
We have volunteer-led training runs in scenic locations around the SF Bay Area. The routes incorporate everything from reviews of the courses of local races to challenging and fun trail adventures, with varying distances and levels of difficulty. Every weekend from February through November (except for weekends with major club races such as Kaiser Half Marathon, Wildflower, SF Half Marathon etc.). See the GGTC Calendar for info on upcoming runs.
Email if you are interested in leading a run. This is a great way to share your favorite run with others, meet new people and add some variety to your workouts.
