The Great Race of Agoura was established in 1986 by a group of parents looking to raise money for their children’s elementary schools. Now professionally produced by Endurance Events and in its 24th year, The Great Race of Agoura Hills (March 28) is one of the largest running events in the Los Angeles area and continues to donate to many schools in Agoura Hills and Oak Park.

There are quite a few TNT participants running the race so you will have plenty of company! Our Team will be meeting at the Team In Training tent in Chumash Park. This is very close to where you will be picking up your race packets, so after you pick up your packets, come to the TNT tent to meet the rest of the Team.

The 10K race starts at 7:30 am, but it’s come to our attention that the lines to pick up your packet and register will most likely be very, very long on Saturday. So, if you still need to pick up your packet on Saturday please try to arrive by 6:00 am to park and pick up your packet so you will not be rushing before the race.

Registration opens at 6:00 am so if you still need to register for the race, please try to arrive by 5:45 am to park and register. We’ll start walking to the starting line as a Team by 7:00 am. Kristen will be at the TNT tent at 6:00 am and yes, she will actually be running the race with you guys (please don’t laugh!) Coach Craig will be at the tent at 6:00 am as well to offer an advice and assistance!

Mayor’s Marathoners and Seattle Rock ‘n’ Rollers Recommitment is here and we want to celebrate with you. Join your campaign manager, coaches, captains, mentors and San Diego Rock ‘n’ Rollers by handing in your recommitment paper work. What better way to do it than at a party to celebrate your accomplishment. Its also a great time to ask any last minute questions you might have.

The party begins at March 31st 7:00 p.m. and goes until the last team member leaves; so don’t worry if you can’t make it right at 7:00. If you have any questions about the party ask one of us on Sunday at practice. But don’t miss it as the San Diego Recommitment Party was a blast. And, just so we can have everyone attend we’ve cancelled all the mentor runs for that evening so get your running in that morning.
