Knee Knacker Training Program
2009

Below is the schedule for this year's training run program.

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.

Interested in informal mid-week trail runs?  Check out the "Unofficial" Wednesday night runs.

Sunday training runs will be coordinated by Craig Moore, Glenn Pacé and Rod Hatfull.
