• SUMMER TRAINING will start on June 15 at 8 a.m. at Smithfield (Blacksbrug).

  The Summer Training program is a 6-to-8 week program with workouts and runs six days/week (Monday through Saturday). Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we will meet at Smithfield Plantation, do a workout and then move to The Weight Club for weight lifting. Tuesday and Saturday runs will be at Pandapas Pond, and the Thursday workouts will rotate between various locations, including Brown Farm, the trail at the top of Preston Forest and the Blacksburg High School track. (We will not be lifting at The Weight Club on the first Monday meeting.)

  Please park in the Cage parking lot for the Smithfield workouts (there is an opening in the fence at the very back of the middle of the lot). If you are not a member of The Weight Club, you can lift there with the summer running program for $2.00/visit. Water (and sometimes Gatorade) will be available at all workouts, but please remember to bring water and a snack. If you plan on lifting at The Weight Club, please bring a clean pair of shoes so ?that we don't track grass into their facility.

  If you have any questions, please e-mail James DeMarco or Ingrid Burbey.
