Hayward Empowerment Through Sport Running Camp
Imagining More Foundation is offering this one-day camp to 70 high school cross country athletes (in grades 9-12 in the East Bay) and their coaches. Hosted by Hayward High School, the camp is an opportunity to interact with three-time Olympian, Shannon Rowbury, and Mexican distance record holder, Pablo Solares. Camp counselors are current track and cross country athletes on the SF State campus and their coach, Sierra Brill. Katie Hynes, a nutritionist from UCSF, will be talking about sport nutrition.

During the camp students will:
Learn/review running essentials: warmup, workout, racing, physical weaknesses and recovery
Discuss ways to improve physical, mental, emotional and social health
Gain insight into the college recruiting process and scholarship opportunities
Realize how participating in sport can enhance the school experience and lead to higher levels of academic and career success
Discover their joy in the running community
The camp agenda consists of the following activities and education:
Training sessions: NCS course easy run + relay games + skills (warm up, activation, stretching, drills)
Transports is offering a 30% off racing flat Nike Zoom Rival Waffle racing flats 30% discount coupon. IMF is offering raffle prizes throughout the day, some from Shannon's Olympian treasure trove!
Athletes will return home with the tools used at the camp for activation and recovery. Please note, coaches are welcome to attend and required to pay the entry fee but will not receive shirts and we will not have enough tools, such as recovery sticks and resistance bands, to equip them as well.
