Features of this program include:
- Instruction in running form using drills, wickets and other calisthenics.

- Yoga based movement to assist in running form by Abel Romero.
- We will learn the trails around Shell Ridge, Lime Ridge and Castle Rock Park as well as the extensive flat canal paths in Walnut Creek.
- All students can earn mileage incentive shirts
- *To be eligible for the 100 mile shirts, we ask the students to track their mileage on the Strava App by joining the Castle Rockers club (https://strava.com/clubs/carock).
- There will also be a program of fun and social events such as pool parties, movie outings and pop up post practice breakfasts, and a couple of racing opportunities so attendees can see progress.
Coaches
Coaching staff will be led by seasoned professionals from Northgate’s highly successful Cross Country and track programs and alumni of the program.
Payment
There are several options for payment for the program to allow for flexibility. We strongly advise that brand new runners choose an option that allows for them to attend 3 days a week initially as their bodies adjust to the rigors of distance running. Monday, Wednesday and Friday work best for new runners if possible.
The First Day is Free!
All new runners have the chance to sample the program free of cost for one day to
see if they enjoy it.
There are 3 levels of participation:
$275 - Watermelon: This is for a returning runner who knows they will be around for most
of the summer and will be attending all 7 weeks.
$200 - Cutie: For 20 days of summer running spread in any way you choose over the 7 weeks, perfect for a new runner coming around 3 days a week or a student who is gone for several weeks of the summer.
$55/week or $12/day - Cherry Level: This would suit someone brand new who wasn’t sure they wanted to commit to more than a week or a few days - this can later be applied to Cutie level if the student wants more.
