Track Night Resumes! Wednesday, May 28, 6:15 PM

Tomorrow it all begins!

This Wednesday we will be kicking off our Beginning Runners group at 6:15 PM at the Central Cambria High School track! We will have waivers and registration forms for you to fill out when you arrive. The cost is $20, which can be paid in cash or check (made out to "Ebensburg Area Running Club").

A reminder that we are following the "Couch to 5k" plan. We encourage participants to follow this plan to their own degree. In other words, challenge yourself, but don't hurt yourself. Overall, this plan works and works well, but you have to be smart about your limits and abilities.

Also, if you have a smartphone, you can download a C25K app. This is a great way to follow the program and not strain your brain thinking of the workout for the day.

If you can't make it on Wednesday, join us on Saturday morning at the Ghost Town Trail at 8:00 AM. And if you're away on the weekend too, you can still sign up during week 2. After that, we have to get in shirt orders and such. So we will not be able to accept registrations after Saturday, June 7.

In addition to our new runners, plenty of experienced runners will also be at the track. We are starting our first ever marathon and half-marathon groups. Please click here for more details. And there will be the usual crew doing a track workout. I'm guessing that the group will decide to do something like 8-12 x 300s, with a 100m recovery jog.

None of these groups (marathon, half-marathon, speed training) have a participation fee. However, if you are interested in getting your very own EARC shirt, please find someone with a yellow shirt and we'll figure out the details.

One last note... our rain policy. If there is thunder and lightening, consider track night canceled. Otherwise, running in the rain is one of the joys of the sport. So we'll be out there.
