Mammoth Running Club
Elevate Your Expectations in Mammoth this Winter
November 02, 2010
By Terrence Mahon
Ever wonder how a place like Mammoth Lakes, CA produces so many great middle and long distance runners? It must be something in the pristine Sierra Nevada air. Mammoth Lakes, sitting at 8,000 feet above sea level is one of the most ideal training locations in the world. With its challenging terrain and ideal altitude any runner can get a great benefit from running on the endless amounts of trails and roads that surround Mammoth Lakes.
If you are interested to see where numerous national champions call home then Mammoth is the place to visit this winter. Here is your chance to find out the secret to this magical place that we call home. Mammoth Track Club member Deena Kastor and her husband Andrew have put together a great winter vacation package that is going to be auctioned off soon. The money raised from the weekend getaway will go to help fund all of the great youth running programs put on by the New York Road Runners.
The Mammoth Track Club has had a great relationship with the NYRR. Since our inception back in 2001 The Mammoth Track Club (formerly Team Running USA) have been fortunate to benefit from the generosity of this great NYC association that puts together so many quality road races throughout the year – culminating with the ING NYC Marathon next weekend.
Mary Wittenberg (NYRR’s CEO) and company really understand what it takes to create successful running programs for both the world-class athlete and for the young runner just getting started. It is through their hard work, dedication to the sport and unending generosity that US distance running is where it is today.
It has been an honor for all of us at the MTC to do anything that we can to help support these great programs. Please help us by bidding on this tremendous auction item. If you win you will not only have an out of this world experience in Mammoth, but you will be helping further the future of US distance running by funding America’s running youth.
The auction package will be an adventure filled weekend for the runner that loves to hit the slopes during the off-season. Included in the package are… Airline tickets, 4 nights stay, Snowmobiling, Snowshoeing/Cross Country Skiing, dinner at Skadi – one of Mammoth’s many great restaurants, as well as ski passes for Mammoth Mountain, ski equipment from Footloose Sports and more!
