We provide coached practices for our sprinting, middle/long distance, and throwing training groups, which are free and open to all.

This year, we will be partnering once again with the SF-Marin Food Bank. For 35 years, the SF-Marin Food Bank has been fighting hunger in the Bay Area. Each week they distribute 1.3 million meals to members of our community in need of food assistance. Donations may be made during registration, you can donate through our Fundraiser page, or during check-in.
