Notre Dame XC Flagstaff Trip
Donation protected
Hi! We are members of the Notre Dame men's cross country team and we are raising funds to help us cover our expenses for a training and racing trip to Flagstaff, Arizona this upcoming summer. The Irish men's xc squad has been rebuilding the last couple years, and we will be returning every single runner next fall.
***Please note, due to NCAA rules, we cannot accept any donations from sports agents or from boosters of University of Notre Dame Athletics.
Returning All-American Michael Clevenger (senior) is confident that the six weeks of training will be essential to success in the fall. Returning varsity members on the trip also include Tim Ball (senior), Chris Marco (senior), Brent Kennedy (junior), and Kevin Pulliam (junior), among others. This trip will allow us to challenge and motivate one another in order to achieve our goal of becoming faster, more successful runners.
Running 100 miles a week for months on end to get ready for xc season is a grueling task, especially when these miles are run alone. Training with teammates during the summer months is not only beneficial to our success but crucial to it. If we want to compete on the same level as the top programs in the country, we need to train like a top program in the country.
The dates of this six week retreat will be Saturday, June 25th until Sunday, August 7th, and we will be staying just north of downtown Flagstaff (house pictured above). We chose Flagstaff for its abundance of runner friendly parks and trails. Equally important, the elevation of the city is almost 7,000 feet, allowing us to train our bodies to use oxygen more efficiently. We will be competing in three races while in Flagstaff: The Hearts 911 Run on Saturday, July 9th, the Snowbowl Hill Climb on Sunday, July 17th and the Machine Solution Run for Kids on Saturday, August 6th.
In order to cover our necessary expenses, we are reaching out for financial assistance to make this trip a reality. Our goal is to raise enough money to ensure that every Irish xc runner on this trip has the opportunity to be great, regardless of financial situations. We are eternally grateful for any assistance and support you can provide us! By supporting us, you will be helping us grow and perform to the best of our abilities. If you have any questions, comments, or simply want to talk running, don’t hesitate to contact us through this site.
