Hello Ravens and Parents!

Summer is finally here—the absolute best time of year to recover, get stronger, and prepare for an amazing Fall season. I am going to be out of the state for most of June, so I wanted to get this crucial information into your hands right now.

New to the team? Be sure to check out the FAQ page on our Team Website to learn more about our program!

Here is the breakdown of what you need to know:

1. Summer Training & Team Bonding

We are gearing up for another incredible summer of training! Year after year, the athletes who train together over the summer have better seasons and stay significantly healthier.

• The Details: Cost is $150 (covers park permits, team t-shirt, and liability; the remainder goes directly to supporting the program).

• Official Start Date with Coaches: Monday, June 29, 2026. You need to be prepped and ready to go by this date!

Weekly Summer Practice Schedule (Starting June 29)

• Mondays & Wednesdays (7:30 AM): Meet at CCA

• Tuesdays & Thursdays (7:30 AM): Meet at Torrey Pines (TP) Beach North

• Saturdays (7:30 AM): Locations vary. Check the Saturday Runs 2026 Schedule here.

Sequoia Camp is Happening! (July 19 – July 26, 2026)

While this is NOT a school-sponsored camp, it has become a legendary tradition for CCAXC students. It is a highly intensive, amazing running camp at altitude. You must be in shape to attend. You do not want to be left at camp all day injured while everyone else is out on the trails!

• Select the interest option on the main team sign-up form if you want to go.

• Read the 2026 Sequoia Camp Information here.

2. 2026 Season Schedule

Our official Fall schedule is now live!

• CCAXC Season Schedule

• Travel rosters for the Clovis and Woodbridge meets will be determined by Time Trials #1 and #2. Any tie-breakers at that point will be settled at the Raven Invitational.

3. Google Classroom & Website Info

We post vital info and materials in our Google Classroom. Parents are highly encouraged to link accounts with their children to stay in the loop.

• Google Classroom: Join Here (Class Code: cl6mb2) - must use School Email address

4. The Raven Invitational (Saturday, September 5)

We are hosting the Raven Invitational at CCA over Labor Day Weekend! For the last three years, we’ve been the second-largest invitational in San Diego—and last year, we were the largest. We expect to hold that title again this year with teams traveling from the Southern Section and out-of-state.

• ⚠️ Attendance is required for all team members. Putting on an event of this scale requires all hands on deck from athletes and families alike. Mark your calendars!

5. Athletic Clearance (Action Required!)

The athletic clearance portal opens today, June 1st, for the 2026–2027 school year.

• Deadline: All athletes must be completely cleared before July 1st. Our official school season begins July 31st.

• Get your paperwork done early so you are cleared for XC and any other sports you want to play this year!

Next Steps & Final Reminders

• Invite a friend to come out for the team! If you know anyone interested in joining the Raven XC family, please forward them this XC Interest Google Form.

Here’s to an exciting summer of training and a phenomenal season ahead. Go Ravens!

What to pack in your bag for race day...

Post Race: After all races, runners are expected to do a 20-30 minute cool down (depending on skill level) plus normal drills and stretching.  For planning purposes, you can expect to be completed with everything an hour after your race starts (i.e. an 8am race start, you should arrive by 7am and then be done with racing and cooldown by 9am).
