The HHS Clock:

A few years ago the Heartbreak Hill Striders purchased a new "state of the art"  digital clock for use at all club track workouts.  The clock allows our coaches to focus on what runners are doing rather than on their splits.

We also make the clock available to the Babson cross-country team (for use at their practices) as well as to selected races.

   

2012-2013 Winter Track Workouts

For the 14th year in a row, we are indebted to the Babson College Athletic Department for allowing us to use their facility for our winter track workouts. These are the details for the 2012-2013 winter season:

  • Workouts will typically take place on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. (Warm-up at 6:00 p.m., workout starts at 6:30 p.m.).  Occasional changes to the day on which workouts are held will be necessary to accommodate Babson basketball and vacation schedules.  This year workouts will be held on the following dates (Wednesday workouts are indicated in red).

                 November: 7, 1421, 27
                 December: 5, 12, 19, 26
                 January: 2, 9, 15, 23, 29
                 February: 5, 12, 19, 26
                 March: 5, 12, 19, 26
                 April: 2

    We may need to make additional adjustments to our workout schedule to accommodate Babson athletic events.

  • For members who wish to participate in weekly coached HHS workouts, we have finalized a track rental contractual agreement with Babson. Under this agreement, we will pay an hourly rate for each hour of track use.

  • Based on the fixed costs involved and expected hours of use, we have set the 2012-2013 Winter Track Workout rate at $140, payable in full at your first workout. If you paid to run indoors last winter (2011-2012), your 2012-2013 Winter Track Workout rate will be $100.   Members in good standing who have not paid the full winter rate may participate in an occasional workout by paying a fee of $20 at the time of that workout.  There will be no price breaks for partial year sign-ups. The earlier you sign-up, the more you can run.

    Please make out a check to Heartbreak Hill Striders in the appropriate amount and bring it with you to the track. Colleen Smith will be collecting checks at each workout.

    HHS members affiliated with Babson (students, alumni, faculty, employees, etc.) will receive a 50% discount (i.e., $70) on the 2012-2013 Winter Track Workout rate.

  • To obtain a Babson parking pass, please complete the parking pass application form available at club workouts and return it to one of our coaches.

The first indoor workout will be held on Wednesday, November 7th.  The last indoor workout will be held on Tuesday, April 2nd (unless otherwise announced).

Members should always remember that we are guests of Babson College whenever we are on campus.  All facilities and individuals should be treated with the utmost respect and all regulations must be obeyed without exception.  Under no circumstances should children, pets, or food be brought to indoor track workouts.
