WELCOME TO THE 2026 SEASON

The wave is building, Breakers! Whether you're lacing up for your first practice or you're a veteran looking to build on last season, this year is about three things: having fun, pushing yourself past what you thought you could do, and building the best team spirit PGMS has ever seen. Championships are a blast to chase...but the real win is crossing the finish line as a better version of the person who started the season.

First Practice, 8/10 — Meet at the PGMS Track for a one-mile base run. This isn't a test, it just helps the coaches group runners appropriately as training begins. Please make sure you have running shoes. 

Mark your calendars:

• 8/10 – First Practice

• 8/14 – Kick-Off Bonfire

• 8/28 – Team BBQ with Monterey & PG High XC

• 9/10 – 8th Grade Volunteer Opportunity: PG JV Football Concessions (parents welcome too!)

• 9/12 – Jackie Henderson Invite

• 10/7 – Team Photos + Fun Run & Treats

• 10/17 – Optional Laguna Seca Track Run ($20/runner — let us know of any hardships)

• 10/24 – Zombie Run (Optional — kids run free with a paid adult)

• 11/8 – Monterey Bay Half Marathon Volunteering (Mandatory for all athletes)

A few reminders as we get rolling: there's no secure place to store valuables at practice, so runners should only bring what they can carry. If your runner bikes to practice, bring a lock. And as always, we can't run this team without our parent volunteers — whether it's driving, running the trails with us, or just being an extra set of hands, every bit helps.
