We have just been informed that due to a field hockey tournament, the track will not be available to us tonight, Wednesday October 18. We will have a workout on the trail, most likely repeat 800s going back and forth between the 1.5 and 1.0 mile markers, where trail is lit. I will be there at 6:45.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
