Bob Rush's 90th birthday celebration

Bob, for his 90th birthday, is planning on running (runoggn as he calls it) across the Crystal Springs XC course finish line on Wednesday, 4 June at 12:00noon.

You and everyone else are invited to this special occasion.

Eldest son Rob will be organizing the event with pizza and beers, so if you can attend, please RSVP to Rob at 650.773-3557 so he knows how much food to purchase.  Please plan on arriving around 11:30am.

Please pass along the 4 June event details to allow those whom you think would be interested, and hope many of us can make it  to the course on 4 June!

The following note was sent by Dave Shrock. For those of you that might not know, Bob Rush is one of the designers of the Crystal Springs course and for decades, Bob tirelessly took care of the course so that runners to this day get to race on one of the most historic courses in the United States. Please pass the following note along to others who might be interested in helping celebrate Bob's birthday.

Bob, for his 90th birthday, is planning on running (runoggn as he calls it) across the Crystal Springs XC course finish line for his 90th birthday on Wednesday, 4 June at 12:00noon.

You and everyone else are invited to this occasion, with perhaps a meal afterwards somewhere...an informal affair.

He is also looking forward to heading up to CSM who is hosting the JC State Championships on Saturday, 17 May.  

Please pass along the 4 June event details to allow those whom you think would be interested, and hope to see many of you at the course on 4 June!

West Coast XC EP 25 State Meet Previews

2nd Annual Marin Mile

We would be happy to provide a discount code to your readers now that most high schoolers' seasons are over and there are only a couple of days before registration closes on Thursday!

Feel free to share code XCEXPRESS with your readers for a 20% off race registration.

The 2nd Annual Marin Mile on May 31st! Sign up at themarinmile.com 

Join us at the Marin Mile— a festival of miles at Archie Williams High School on May 31st, 2025. Inclusive of all levels and all ages, the Marin Mile welcomes anyone who wants to run or race a mile with their peers. 

As this event is electronically timed and USATF-sanctioned, it serves as a great opportunity for high school distance runners to get a last chance race to share with college coaches or to better their personal bests one last time! We wanted to make sure all Bay Area HS distance runners were aware of this race opportunity if they want to take one last shot at a PR or run a full mile on an outdoor track with family and friends! Stick around for the final elite heat where we are hoping to see new Marin County Mile soil records, including Marin's first sub-4 mile!

Heats will take place in the afternoon, running in descending order from slow to fast. The exact schedule will be determined in mid-May
