Mountain View Area Run Club (MVARC)

Let's run track! Crittenden Middle School has a beautiful new track with good floodlights so we can run there year round.

This will be our fall track meet! We will be doing both a 1 mile and 5k time trial on the track. There will be two heats for each event. Come ready to run hard and see all the hard work you've been putting in your training pay off! Or pace a friend and run for fun. Excited to see some PRs!

The workout will be:

• warmup (4 laps jogging, drills, strides)
• Mile Time Trial (heat 1)
• Mile Time Trial (heat 2)
• 5k Time Trial (heat 1)
• 5k Time Trial (heat 2)
• cooldown (2 - 4 laps jogging, planking)

Let's run on the Bay trail! The route is an out and back beginning at our meeting spot on West Caribbean Dr. Typically, the most people do is 7 total miles (~3.5 miles out), but you are welcome to do more or less. The majority of people do between 3 and 5 total miles. All paces are welcome!

Please meet at the pinned location below.

We run for about an hour after we introduce ourselves and do a quick warm up. After the run, feel free to join us for dinner! Dinner will be at:

300 W McKinley Ave, Ste 100, Sunnyvale, CA 94086

Saturday mornings begin promptly at 8:30am (plan to arrive at least 5 minutes before). We meet outside Starbucks (1380 Pear Ave. Mountain View). We start off with introducing ourselves, and then walk a block to warm up. As we make our way to the Stevens Creek Trail (at La Avenida) the organizer leads in a short time of active stretching. Our run is usually just a little over 3 miles, although you could go farther or do a shorter distance if you wish (and you can walk too!). (Directions for the run: From La Avenida turn left onto the Steven's Creek Trail. Run until the first bridge on the right. Cross the bridge and turn left. Run on the dirt trail to the next bridge on the left. Take that bridge. Turn left after crossing it. Run back to La Avenida. Turn right on Inigo Way. Turn left on Pear heading back to Starbucks). After our run we meet back at Starbucks for a fun social time. We have runners of all levels. We look forward to meeting you and running together!

We'll start at the regular time (8:00AM) again going forward! Come join us for a Sunday morning run along the Bay Trail! We have folks who run 3 miles, and some who run 12+ miles. Our regular group size is 15-20 runners and everyone generally finds someone to run with.
