Dear Runners and Parents,
It is crazy to think school starts in 3 1/2 weeks! Keep being consistent with your training to set yourself up for a successful season. DATE CHANGE: I need to move the parent meeting to Wednesday, August 5th @ 6 pm.
Don't forget physical night is this week, Tuesday, July 28th, 2026 5:00p.m. – 7:30p.m. Hartland High School, Main Gym, COST: $25.00
CROSS COUNTRY CAMP
Please check the SEASON CHECKLIST to see if you are registered. If you are not, please fill out the Cross Country Camp Survey
Where: YMCA Camp Nissokone 6836 F41, Oscoda Twp, MI 48750
When: August 9th-14th(The week before school, students will have to do picture retakes.)
Cost = $330(Bus included). Checks can be made to Hartland Athletics due August 5th(If you want to pay with a credit card, I can load it into Parent Portal, but there is a processing fee)
Agenda and Menu to come.
XC Camp Dietary Concerns Sheet = I have attached the Dietary Concerns sheet for camp. This is for those who have allergies or are Gluten-Free, etc. There will be a salad bar this year. I am hoping to have the menu this week.
XC CAMP Medications = I have also attached the Medications sheet that must have a doctor's signature for any medications that need to be administered at camp. This includes over-the-counter medications. Please make sure you have this sheet with medications when you arrive at camp.
XC Season Over-the-Counter Medication Form = I have attached a medication form that allows me to give your athlete the over-the-counter medication you indicate on the form.
FINAL FORMS = Again, this year the athletic department is using FinalForms to collect physical and emergency info. The original sign-up should take about 20 minutes for parents and 5 minutes for athletes. This will be faster if you are already signed up from a previous season. Please see the FinalForms Link or the attached document for signing up. You can check my SEASON CHECKLIST to see if you are registered for Final Forms.
Physical
Athletes will be required to have a physical dated after April 15th, 2026 to run this year. Please plan accordingly.
SUMMER RUNNING SCHEDULE = The Summer Running Schedule also has all of the workouts. I understand life is busy, but the more you do, the better prepared for the season you will be.
Logging miles can help keep you healthy and is an integral part of our program.
Strava Club = If an athlete uses Strava for all their runs, they will not have to log their miles. I will log for them.
Communication
I will be sending emails most weeks, updating the mileage log, and sending text messages throughout the summer. Please make sure you are receiving both text messages and emails. Use the link below to sign up for emails and the info to sign up for text messages. Please let me know if you would like to be removed from this distribution list.

Runner Expectations at Summer XC Practice
We have many new runners as well as younger runners joining us this year. We are happy to have runners of all abilities, but please be aware that we do have expectations of the runners, and we expect them to be followed so that we can keep everyone safe as well as get the most out of the time we have. Please let me know if you have questions.
