Join us for 45 minutes of skills and strategy before your race, and then put your new skills straight to work.
Post-race, we will have cold beverages (thanks Blue Bus Kombucha) and an opportunity to debrief about what worked, what didn’t, and what we want to work on next week. We will also have weekly raffle prizes (thanks Schwalbe).
