Featured CNW Athlete: Gail Hall

CNW Athlete, Gail Hall shares her experiences and background as a runner. 

How did you first get involved in Club? 

I was approached to join for Club nationals in 2002 in Rocklin California. Prior to that I was sponsored by other shoe companies and raced representing them (Reebok, Mizuno, then Brooks) My prior successes were on the roads and I tend to be a "rhythm" runner, meaning I can lock into a pace an just grind away...which is why I was so successful in the marathon. (Cross country is very different!) Because I felt I stunk at cross country, I guess I just avoided it. Anyway, I got talked into going that year and we masters women had to run a 10k.

Winter Newsletter: Happy New Year!

Message from the President, Rick Albright

Happy New Year to all our Club Northwest members and your loved ones!  The start of the year is the perfect time to look back at the past year, at the many challenges and highlights, and to express our gratitude to those who have brought us to this point.  Highlights in 2016 included another successful Resolution Run, one of our best All-Comers Track & Field Series, the large number of Club athletes who qualified to participate in the US Olympic Trials, another successful cross country season, and an amazing fund raising campaign last summer.  Challenges included having to stop publication of Northwest Runner, overcoming financial difficulties, and cancelling the 2016 Firecracker 5000.  However, with your support, we were able to overcome these challenges and head into 2017 on much better financial footing than we've seen in a couple of years.  Much of this stems from the generosity of those who donated money and volunteer time to the Club, and to our corporate partners and sponsors.  Thank you all so very much!
