OUR CLOCK

In 2001 the Heartbreak Hill Striders purchased a new "state of the art"  digital clock for use at all club track workouts.  The clock allows our coach(es) 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.

    WINTER TRACK WORKOUTS
    2007-2008   

For the 9th 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.  In 2006 Babson changed their athletic agreements with all outside organizations and we worked with them on a new plan for HHS workouts.
 

These are the details for the 2007-2008 winter season:

• Workouts will typically take place on Thursday evenings between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m.  Occasional day and time changes may be necessary to accommodate Babson basketball and vacation schedules.
   

• 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 2007-2008 Winter Track Workout rate at $140, payable in full at your first workout. If you paid to run indoors last winter (2006-2007) --- see list below,  your 2007-2008 Winter Track Workout rate will be $100.
  
  Please make out a check to Heartbreak Hill Striders in that amount and bring it with you. There will be no price breaks for partial year signups. The earlier you sign-up, the more you can run.
  
  HHS members affiliated with Babson (students, alumni, faculty, employees, etc.) will receive a 50% discount on the above rates ($50 for those who ran last year, $70 for those who did not).
   

• 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 Thursday, November 1st at 6:30 pm. 

There will be no workout on the following date due to Babson holiday recess:  November 22, 2007. 

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.

From time to time we will need to adjust our club workout schedule to accommodate Babson athletic events.  Click here for the current Babson athletic facilities schedule.
