 Our club meets every day throughout the week to run and train for our upcoming racing seasons. We are coached by USTFCCCA Hall of Famer, Tom Heinonen. He was the women’s head coach at the U of O for 27 years and turned the undersized women’s program into an NCAA powerhouse. He now volunteers as our coach and trains us for cross country races in the fall and track meets in the spring. With Tom’s guidance for the last six years, Running Club members have been able to compete at various meets throughout the Willamette Valley with other running teams including D1, D2, D3, Community Colleges and other running clubs in the region. For the last two years, the highlights of our cross country seasons have been competing at the NIRCA National Championships in November. This year, we will have the opportunity to go to this prestigious meet again, for the third year in a row. Last year our men’s team took second place to a tough Wisconsin team while our women’s team took third place. Throughout the summer, we have all been busy training for the upcoming cross country season and of course, thinking about Nationals. The NIRCA National Championships will be held in Ypsilanti, Michigan this November. To help reduce the cost for each individual runner competing at this meet, our club keeps busy by fundraising for volleyball and basketball games throughout the fall season. We also host our own cross country meet in November, the Pre’s Trail Open. Although we are able to receive much needed funds from these activities, they are not nearly enough to make the trip to nationals affordable for many running club members.
In order to help make ends meet, we’re asking our family members and friends to help us with these costs. The money that we raise will not only go toward the cost of the national meet, but it will also benefit us throughout the entire year, like team trips and exploration runs at the Oregon coast and the McKenzie River Trail. The funding will also help us during our spring track season! In order to reach our goals as a running club this year, we need your help! Would you be willing to help us with your donation?
