congrats to all of our Athletes of the year!
Apologies for the poor-quality photo, but this is what we got at the holiday party. Pictured here are AOTY’s from San Rafael: Paul Hughes, Steph Goldsborough, and Sherri Bihn. Also pictured is Tom Fischer, ATOY from Mill Valley. Not pictured are our other Athletes of the Year, who have some explaining to do as to why they weren’t at the party: Julie Knox from Mill Valley and Jacqui Miranda, Bob Kelly, and Jimmy Miranda from Corte Madera. AOTY honors go to long-time members who embody the spirit of our community and support our efforts in various ways, year-round.
Happy Holidays TO YOU ALL, AND THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR EXTENDED FAMILY!

Calling all runners FOR RUNNING STRONG! COMING TO TJ’s MILL VALLEY IN JANUARY!
Program Foundations:
•Injury prevention/Consistency
Strength training builds stronger, more resilient connective tissues (muscle, bone, tendon, ligament), allowing athletes to train harder and with more frequency, all while avoiding injury.
•Efficiency/Muscular Power
Power is a necessity for success in distance running. Our Running Strong program aims to increase runners' ability to create and access power.
•Longevity/Health
While running has significant cardiovascular benefits, it often falls short when it comes to balance and sustainability. We will address issues and ailments common to runners, with the goal of enabling athletes to enjoy running for years to come.
Coach Nick Laplant is a Marin County native who grew up running the trails of Mt. Tam. He ran competitively for Tam High and earned a scholarship to Humboldt State, where he competed in Cross Country and Track and Field. Nick has competed in a number of demanding local races, including the Dipsea, and the Mt. Tam Hill Climb, and he is thrilled to be helping others reach their running potential in the beautiful running backdrop of Marin.
