Come on out to our very popular Wednesday Night Track Workouts. All paces are welcome. There will be plenty of motivation to go around!

Parking


Please do not park in the gravel lot next to the stadium. The Harper College Police will come and ticket you without warning. Plenty of free parking is available in Lots 1 & 12.

Cost is $1.00 per person. Bring your own water bottle. We will have a babysitter onsite during the workout. Cost will be $5 per child if you plan on using this service. Select the # of kids so that we can be sure to add another babysitter(s) if the # of kids warrant it.

Time:
6:00 PM warmup/stretch and 6:15 PM strides


What we need to remember this year:


  • Workout starts at 6:15pm. You should plan on arriving around 6pm and getting in a 10ish minute warm up run before we start. At 6:15, we'll do announcements, strides, and start the workout.

  • You can park at the lot to the north or the east of the track. You cannot park at the track. Period. The Harper cops will ticket you, yell at us, and it just won't be good.

  • We cannot bring a team water cooler to the track this year. Bring your own water.

  • For the workout, we'll break up in to groups based on pace and each group will have group leaders to help you through it. Please, do not feel obligated to do the whole workout if you are not able or if it is not smart. Also, feel free to switch groups if you don't feel like the one you started with is the best effort for you. We all support each other, no matter what ability.

  • Track etiquette: There will be a lot of us running around the track. Be mindful of others. Stay in lane 1 and 2 unless you are passing. Be careful of anyone behind you when you are starting. Finish on the grass (to the left) so as to not impede runners passing the start line. Use your outside voice when you need to. Don't wear headphones as you can't hear others around you.

  • If there is a soccer game, we are not allowed on the track until they are finished. At all. Period. Not even a brisk walk.

  • There will be baby sitters at the track. If you are bringing your kids, be sure to add your name and how many you are bringing above so Chelsea can plan accordingly. It is $5 per child, payable in the box. Children are only to be on the soccer field. We have specifically been told by Harper that they are not allowed in the stands.

  • We'll have Fast Track apparel to purchase. Get there early if you want to buy something (or do it after) so Grace and others can get their warms ups in. Cash only.

  • If you bring someone along that is not a Fast Track member, tell them it is $1 to participate and tell them to sign up for Fast Track on the website. (Members are free.)

    • Finally, be sure to be safe. Let's still try to stay distanced from each other the best we can. If you are not vaccinated, you shouldn't be around people with no mask on.

Be supportive. Run hard. Have fun!
