Knee Knacker Sunday Training Program - 2005

Below is the schedule for the 2005 training runs. Please note the place and time for each run. Be prepared to buddy-up (run with a partner) to minimize search and rescues. Anyone can participate. You don’t have to be in Knee Knacker 2005, so bring a friend or partner that wants to try trail running.

Note that this year we will be holding our official group runs on Sundays. There will very likely be runners in a variety of pace groups on each run. Remember to check out the Training Run Reports .

Training runs will be coordinated by Craig Moore & Glenn Pacé.
