Come help us kick off the 2008 Cross Country season by joining us on our 1st annual team retreat! The goal of the retreat is to make us a stronger team--by making each individual a better distance runner through training and education. At the same time we hope to bring the whole group closer together as a team. The retreat will take place on the beautiful Berry College campus which boasts miles of soft running trails on the largest college campus in the world! Like other running camps, each day will consist of some training runs, informational clinics, team activities and some free time. Unlike other running camps, however, our retreat will be designed with only our team in mind which means we can be as flexible as we want while getting us motivated for the 2008 season. It should be a lot of fun!

The team retreat will begin on the afternoon of Sunday, July 27th and will conclude on Friday, August 1st.
