2026 Team Update Page

Training Update - 11/19/25   

Hey SOAR '26!! 

This Saturday's training introduces SOAR 2026 to a new marathon training variable - Trail Running! Combining backcountry beauty with a technical traverse along a moderate to strenuous 5 mile out and back navigating East Canyon, this run adds an important element of cross training in preparation for the Hollywood Trail 14K team qualifier set for late January.  We'll meet at 6am, parking on the side of the Old Road close to the East Canyon Trailhead just past the Newhall Church of the Nazarene, Address:  23857 The Old Road, Newhall, CA 91321.  Set your navigation for either the Church or search 'East and Rice Canyons' in Google Maps and look for Coach Kevin's truck with SOAR flag to mark our rally location.   Refer to the map below for exact location if needed.  Pacing Saturday will be set off pace.  Please refer to your YTD Tempo Mi / Min and add 1-2 minutes per mile to that pace to get an idea of your appropriate pacing. Be sure to to get plenty of rest, and eat something light no later than 1 hour prior to go time, 'cause this one's gonna kick yer butt!  


 Call or text if any questions, and we'll see you Saturday morning!  - Coach Alicia
