Dear Runners and Parents,
I hope you all had a great 4th of July week!. We are ready to get back to running as a group. We only have three weeks until camp. Please plan physicals and get forms filled out.
Season Schedule
The season Schedule is linked at the bottom of all my emails.(HARTLAND XC SEASON SCHEDULE) I will do my best to have this updated if any changes are made. It can also be found by searching Hartland on www.athletic.net
FINAL FORMS = To attend camp you must have all the paperwork in Final Forms complete along with an uploaded physical. Final Forms is open for the 2024-2025 year. Please start working on your forms. Remember both parents and athletes need an account. PARENT DIRECTIONS FOR FINAL FORMSSEASON CHECKLIST
Physicals Athletes will be required to have a physical dated after April 15th, 202\4 to run this year. Please plan accordingly.
SUMMER RUNNING SCHEDULE = I have updated the paces for the Summer Running Schedule it also has all of the workouts for the next couple of weeks. Remember there is a second tab that has paces to help complete the workouts. It will be helpful if you attempt to complete these workouts and use the paces. I understand life is busy, but the more you do the better prepared for the season you will be.
CROSS COUNTRY CAMP The cost of camp with the bus is $315 with the bus. You may pay via check to "Hartland Athletics" or I can ask the athletic office to add it to "Parent Portal" for an additional fee. I need this to be paid before leaving for camp but will accept payment at your convenience.
Where: YMCA Camp Nissokone 6836 F41, Oscoda Twp, MI 48750
When: July 28th-August 2nd
Cost = $315

Qualifying for Camp = Camp is a privilege & this camp is totally optional. An athlete may end their camp stay at any time(No Refunds).All athletes will have the same opportunities during the season whether they attend camp or not.

If you are a returning runner, you must log 100 miles between 6/1/24 and 7/27/24.
Logging miles can help stay you healthy and is an integral part of our program.
Strava Club = I have created a Strava club. I will be encouraging all potential varsity athletes to upload their workouts to strava. All athletes are welcome. If an athlete uses strava for all their runs they will not have to log their miles. I will log for them.
