Update: Coronavirus puts all Sport Club activities on hold

A message from our club president:
Dear Club Members, We are living in an unusual time which has presented us with uncertainty, disappointment, and anxiety, but I implore you to rise above these challenges. In light of the current pandemic facing the world, all official spring practices, meets, and events have been suspended until further notice. Training plans and workouts will still be provided by our coaches for you to implement into your training during this season. This pandemic does not mean we have to sit on the couch all day on Zoom. If you train with others during this time, please do not make physical contact with them. For us athletes, running and training brings us health and happiness, so don't let that slip away from you during these times if you are in good health and have the ability to get out. Encourage your teammates! We don't know what the future holds, so stay positive and stay strong! We will get through this together! The light is always at the end of the tunnel. "100% of me is nothing compared to 1% of the team, that's teamwork and that's what I value" - Eliud Kipchoge. GO AGGIES!!! President of UCDXCTF Club, Devan Becker BREAKING NEWS
Registration is now available for Moove Your Hooves, our signature 5K race! Winding through iconic sections of campus, it's a fun and family-friendly event, scheduled for May 16th. MYH is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and helps provide funds for race registration, travel costs, uniforms, dues, and more. Due to ongoing fundraising efforts like this, we are one of the most affordable student organizations on campus. Support the club, sign up now, and share the event with the whole herd! Coach and founder Nathan Kwan ran in the U.S. Olympic marathon trails on Saturday in Atlanta, GA. Averaging 5:25/mi, he placed 71st out of 175, meaning our own local legend is one of the fastest men in the country! The race was broadcast live on TV, the internet, and mobile via NBC. Nathan was also just featured on Good Day Sacramento in two segments, the Davis Enterprise, and Capital Public Radio for his qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials using a half marathon standard from the San Jose Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon. |
The XCTF club is an official student-run sport club at UC Davis. We welcome runners and fielders of all abilities, from beginners and social joggers to highly competitive athletes. We hold practice and attend racing events all school year, including out-of-town and out-of state meets, as well as community races. Though originally a cross country-focused club, our team now also has squads training for all types of events in track and field, marathons, ultra-marathons, trail races, and more. It's never "too late" join the club--you can join at any time in the school year to run with us. Both undergraduate and graduate students are in the club, and there are no "try-outs!" All are welcome to come out and join a close-knit team and community!
