August 2nd - 7th - Phoenix 5k!

We had a great week at camp this past week. Thanks to everyone who came and helped make it a memorable one. We are approaching our season very quickly and it is crucial we stay on top of our running (including logging it on Strava). We made some team goals at camp so let's get after it and continue to build a prestigious XC program here at Farmington. Thanks for being great kids and not causing problems at camp. You guys rock. A few things we need to be aware of....

1. Our online team store is up and running to get team gear for this XC season. This is optional and is run through one of the parents: Niki Martineau. If you have questions please contact her at: nikimartineau@gmail.com

The shop will close on August 3rd at midnight. Please get your orders in as we won't do a 2nd order. 

2. We also need help with packet pickup next Friday as well as help with the 5K. If you have parents or friends who want to help but don't want to run the race, have them sign up through this link:


3. If you haven't already, please sign up for the Phoenix 5k. We need to have everyone signed up so we can plan for breakfast and to know how many people will be there. If you haven't already done so, please go and register here:


We also need you to bring in your prizes. We haven't gotten very many and you guys help make this race a fun one for everyone with the prizes. Get those in. Thanks!!

4. If you haven't started your eligibility, do it NOW. Go to Register My Athlete as soon as you can to get that started. I need hard copies of the physicals, not just uploaded on to RMA I need a physical copy in my hands. Please don't wait.
