Summer Track June - September 

 

Directions to Tallman Mountain SP. (most weeks)

From Route 9W, just south of Sparkill, turn East onto Rockland Road. The entrance to the Tallman Mountain State Park is 500 feet, on the right. Park in the first lot to the right, just past the entrance. 

Regular Program

Most of our workouts will be on the cinder track at Tallman Mountain State Park, starting and ending with a 3-mile time trial.  We'll also include a hill workout and some other variations to spice things up. 

These summer track workouts are suitable for all fitness levels, so don't feel intimidated.  Our experienced and knowledgeable coaching staff, Ray Kondracki and Jamie Kempton will tailor the workouts to suit all paces.  Getting faster is just as important to a beginner as it is to a highly competitive runner. Additional benefits include aerobic and muscular fitness, race pacing and confidence within your training level. Our coaches can answer your individual training questions before, during and after workouts.

We suggest that you arrive early to allow time to stretch and warm up before the speed part of the workout starts at 7:00pm!  The Club will provide water and Gatorade. 

We often conduct workouts in light rain. Workouts may be cancelled however, when severe weather conditions exist. Last minute changes and cancellations will be communicated by e-mail to all registered participants and also posted to our social media accounts: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Fees

The program is free for all current Rockland Road Runner Club Members. Guests may try out the program for one session (you'll just have to sign a waiver), but if you attend regularly, we do require that you join the club.  Membership options are listed on our website.  If you would like to make a donation towards the end-of-season track party, you can do so at the donation page, or contribute cash at one of the workouts.
