Please bring a watch and water bottle. Athletes are expected to attend if they are in town. NOTE: If you do not have full athletic clearance you WILL be sent away. We meet at Lincoln park for these few days because it is closer to the pathways of Los Altos Hills which are softer on the legs and help prevent injury. New runners will be able to explore new trails without having to run all the way from the high school. Saturday August 17th: Team Run & Picnic in Rancho San Antonio Preserve. ***NOTE: Meet at Montclaire Elementary Time: 9:30AM-11:15AM Meet at: Montclaire Elementary School, 1160 St Joseph Ave, Los Altos, CA 94024 This run is optional but highly recommended. Families are welcome to join us but dogs are not permitted at this location. Run/walk will be about an hour followed by a potluck picnic. Note that we meet at Montclaire Elementary School and run into Rancho from there because the main parking lot is too busy.
