General Description:
We will join Mill City on their Assisted (water stops provided) Run each Saturday at 7:00am when they are held (runs are every other week). On weeks when Mill City doesn not host a run, Captains Nathan & John will lead a run at Founders Park. Click HERE for location and routes for Mill City runs. Run routes led by John & Nathan will be communicated on Remind & updated on the calendar. Routes for Mill City runs range from 3-15+ miles and have multiple pace groups ranging from 7:00min/miles to 12:00min miles and beyond so it is hard NOT to fit in on this group run 🙂*
AT THE END OF EACH WEEK: Log your Summer Miles to earn Varsity Letter Points!
12-Hour Relay
12-Hour Relay
What: A fundraiser that is a great way to stay in shape and bond with the team! Relay means that there will be at least one person running over the course of the entire 12-hour time span. Athletes will ask people to pledge to donate* to the team per lap** they run/walk (i.e. $5 per lap). The money raised will contribute to team bonding activities, our End of Season Banquet, equipment and gear for the team, and coaching stipends. Click here for the pledge/donation form. Our goal is to raise $3500 total.
* Flat donations are also accepted
* *One lap = one lap around Nicollet Island = about 1 mile
Athletes and coaches will sign-up for 10-minute slots throughout the day, running as much or as little as needed to meet fundraising and fitness goals. Bring any activities, chairs/blankets, etc. you'd like and don't forget sunscreen!

When: Friday, August 18th
The relay begins at 6:00am SHARP, so plan to arrive at the Athletic Field at 5:40AM. Those willing to help set-up (we will need to set up a few tables and the tent), please arrive at 5:30am.
What else: Breakfast, snacks, and lunch will be provided. If you are a parent/guardian and would like to help by dropping off snacks, sign-up here. We will end the day with an appetizer pot-luck at 6:00pm which we ENCOURAGE parents to attend so we can get to know you. Sign up to bring an appetizer here.
