An email just went out to all registered families of Session 2 Lansing Lightning athletes.  If you are not on the mailing list, please email Coach Becca so you can be added!

Session 2 starts TOMORROW (Tuesday, June 26) from 6-7pm at the Lansing Track.  We'll practice every Tuesday and Thursdays (except July 4th) and then wrap up Session 2 with the FLRC track meet on July 23.

Our coaches for the summer season are myself (Coach Becca), Coach Margaret, Coach Mike, and Coach Tristan.  We will communicate via email and lansingcommunityrunners.org  We plan to practice rain or shine -- but if it's heavy rain/wind or there's a threat of thunderstorms, we'll send an email to cancel.

Athletes should bring water bottles and wear sunscreen to the track.  We start warming up promptly at 6pm. 

We will distribute racing singlets tomorrow; these need to be worn at the track meet on July 23.  We also have Lansing Lightning performance t-shirts available in youth and adult sizes; we are selling these at cost for $8 each (cash or check only).  

Please feel free to reach out with any questions.  Looking forward to seeing you at the track!

Go Lightning!

Our Lansing Lightning athletes from Session 1 competed in their first meet of the season, participating in the Finger Lakes Running Club all-comers track meet at Lansing High School.  We were really proud of how hard they all worked and how supportive they were of their fellow competitors and their teammates.  Great job!

​Results can be found here.

We are just one week away from our first track meet of the 2019 summer season!   Some important information:

• Our racing singlets are en route.  We will probably distribute them on the night of the meet.
• The meet is on Tuesday, June 18.  Events begin at 6pm.  Please plan to arrive no later than 5:30pm so we can hand out singlets, pin on our race numbers, and prepare for our races.
• The concession stand will be open.  We encourage families to bring along a picnic dinner and/or some cash for concessions.
• The order of events is 100, 800, 4x100, 400, 1 mile, 4x400. Our Lansing Lightning athletes have the option to sign up for long jump as well. Athletes may leave with a parent after their events are complete.
• This is all about FUN!  It's brave to step up to a starting line, and we are excited for all of our athletes to take on this challenge!  Thanks in advance for cheering for ALL of our participants!
