-We'll also have a Noon-Midnight Run-A-Thon at the MCHS Track

...Do you have the right equipment/are YOU are ready for the MCHS XC season?   -Here's a minimum of what you'll need:

-A "fresh" pair of running shoes!   -Typically shoes last for only 350-400 miles and most will cover that in 10 weeks or sooner.   Don't bargan shop; get custom fitted at a Specialty Running Store!   Shop here and get 10% off every day, when you mention you are a high school XC athlete:    https://www.heartnsolesantarosa.com/

-A running watch!   A Garmin-brand GPS watch is best, but also OK to just get a "basic" watch capable of taking splits, like these two I found on Amazon.com: LINK  LINK

-Running shorts (we will be passing out uniform tops, but everyone is expected to purchase their own "all black" shorts)

-A water bottle

-A great attitude and put in some thought about your GOALS for the upcoming season prior to Tahoe Running Camp and for sure by the first day of practice! 

GO PUMAS!!!
