Tamalpa This & That

1.  PA Grand Prix Racing for 2019 continues on 6/23/19, 7/20/19 & 8/17/19-   Tamalpa team racing on the PAUSATF Road Racing, Cross Country & MUT Circuits started on 1/13/19 and will continue until 12/15/19.  Tamalpa tries to field scoring teams in these races whenever possible. The next MUT Grand Prix Race for 2019 will be the Pacifica 21K on 7/20/19. The next Road Racing Grand Prix Race for 2019 will be the One Mile Bang on 6/23/19.  The Cross-Country Grand Prix will start on August 17, 2019 with the 19th Annual UC Santa Cruz XC Challenge.  The subsequent Road Race will be the Freedom Fest 5k in Morgan Hill on 7/4/19.  The subsequent MUT race will be the Skyline 50K on August 4, 2019. We had a Good Racing Season in 2018, let’s do it again in 2019.  We need to do our best to have Tamalpa Scoring teams at these races!  To score for your Tamalpa racing team, you need to have a 2019 USATF card.  You can check at http://www.pausatf.org/data/members.php?club=100 to see if your USATF card is current.  If you do not have a current USATF card sign up for your 2019 USATF card at https://www.usatf.org/membership/application/    If you sign up for your 2019 USATF Card in November or December of 2018 the Card will be good for the last two months of 2018 and all 12 months of 2019.  Make sure you list Tamalpa, Club #100, as your Club.  It is easy to miss the Club designation when you sign up for your USATF card.  Look for the Club Designation on the RIGHT side of the screen.   Make sure you have your 2019 USATF card and get out and run for your Tamalpa racing team.  Make sure you wear a Tamalpa uniform top in all PA races.
