Wildcard Run (The FIST!)-08/23/2018

THE FIST (3.5 mile Season Kickoff Team Unity Run)!

From Coach Toby....

The fist pump, the clenched fist – for runners, these symbolic gestures are synonymous with celebrating a personal PR, team strength & unity, or to recognize any workout involving blood, sweat or tears. The fist reminds us we’re all rugged around the edges and whether together or alone, we are all capable of reaching new heights.

Appropriately, tonight’s run takes us high atop a rocky SF outcrop know as “the Fist”!
Enjoy the picturesque views and get in a few good fist pumps with your teammates to celebrate the season ahead.
