The ESR Track and Field Team will enjoy a variety of events in 2011. We are a small and growing group of runners training for the 400 meter to 3,000 meter race distances, though hurdlers, 5000 meter runners, and steeplechasers are also welcome! This is purely a recreational effort and experience and speed are not prerequisites.
We are hosting our 4th annual Time Trial Night on Wednesday, May 4th. This is when we commandeer the Wednesday night track workout at LWHS and run the 400, 800, mile, and the 3,000. We finish with a spirited 4x400 in which all paces are welcome and we try to even out the teams! This is a great opportunity to try out some shorter track events.
There are lots of local opportunities for whittling down your season PRs this year. CNW All Comers meets run from May 25 through the summer on Wednesday evenings in Shoreline. The World masters meet is in Sacramento this year the first half of July. The USATF Masters National meet is in Ohio the last weekend of July. There are several other meets in the area for youth, open, and masters athletes.
This year, we are sponsored by Sports Reaction Center, Physical Therapy for Active People. Sports Reaction Center is joining with us to sponsor the June 29 CNW All Comers Meet in Shoreline.
