Drivers needed for Off Campus Training Runs!

As mentioned at our parent meeting back in August, an important part of our training program are the off campus runs. These are typically 2-3 times a week at either Channel Drive (Annadel), Park Trail (Annadel) or Howarth Park (Spring Lake/Annadel). They allow the coaches to give the kids an opportunity to run on "real" cross country trails, which keeps it more fun, interesting and challenging! In order to transport a roster of 84+ kids it takes many parent volunteers to help.

We know that some of you either missed the opportunity to sign up at the parent meeting or have started later in the season. Here is what you need to know:

Coaches and seniors transport about 33 kids on any given day, which means we need 51 more seatbelts....approximately 8-9 more drivers each time we leave Carrillo. We meet on the basketball courts at the entrance to the track at 3:30pm (3pm on Mondays) for short announcements from the coaches, then load up the vehicles for the trip to the park. After dropping off you passengers, you are free to walk or run, run other errands or just relax until the kids finish approximately one hour later.

Be there to pick them up and take them back to MCHS typically around 5:30pm.

With a roster this large, it has been a challenge every time so far to find enough rides.
