We're super excited about our first annual Guys Night Event on Sunday November 15th. For years we have hosted a really successful Lady's Night Event and we have been desperately trying to figure out something to do for the guys.

We think we really struck gold with this idea! Come join Future Track for a Fun-Run and Nike Shoe Trial (you can test-drive their new LunarGlide shoe) on an easy 30-45min run at 3:45pm. Then come on in to the store and enjoy a beer tasting presented by Essential Wine Co. of Camarillo and make your picks for the "Pick-A-Square" contest.

Mingle and enjoy the company until the Sunday Night Football game kicks off at 5:20pm and will be screened on our large panel flat screen! Enjoy free food and beer during the game.

We will be awarding prize packages to the people that guess the correct score at the end of each quarter of the football game - you have a chance to win some really cool stuff from Nike, Future Track, and Essential Wine Co.

Are you looking to run your first 5k or 10k? Are you looking to improve your personal best for a 5k or 10k? Then the Calabasas Classic Training Program presented by Future Track is perfect for you!

Beginning on Wednesday, July 8, 2009 Future Track will be hosting a four month training program in preparation for the Calabasas Classic on November 8, 2009. Meeting twice per week - Wednesdays at 6:30pm and Sundays at 8:30am - we will take you through a progressive training program that will build your endurance, strength and speed, while teaching you proper running mechanics and educating you on other aspects of running.

This training program is free to anyone who has registered for the race and you will enjoy beginner or intermediate training plans developed by veteran coach and Future Track owner, Bill Duley. Assisting coach Duley will be Future Track Manager Gloria Rios, who has coached many runners, walkers, and triathletes in local training groups. Also assisting will be, yours truly, Steve McQuaide who will be coming out of coaching retirement for this special training program. With three coaches on staff, each training program member will be sure to have individualized attention to ensure they reach their goals.

We will be posting more detailed information about the Calabasas Classic Training Program in the Events Section of our website within the next week or two. The Training Program is open to runners of all ability levels, but is really focused on helping beginning and intermediate runners to acheive their goals.

This event was a huge success for the members of Oak Park High school leadership class, as they organized and ran the entire event to raise money for charity! Great job everyone, and thanks to everyone that brought their used shoes to donate!

Another successful event for Future Track as more than 60 women attended our most popular event. The ladies enjoyed two informational clinics, wine & cheese mixer, meeting and mixing with representatives from local running clubs including Moms In Motion, Team Believe, Camp Keystone Bootcamp and Ventura Road Runners. We raffled off tons of great items from our top brands and everyone received a New Balance sack pack, K-Swiss water bottle, Puma wrist bands and Asics Socks as a door prize. The women enjoyed hanging out and taking advantage of the great discounts. We want to thank everyone that participated in this event and we hope to see you again next year!

Our first ever Beginning Runner Clinic was very well attended, with almost 40 people packing the store. Future Track Owner, Bill Duley, Manager, Gloria Rios, and Marketing Director, Steve McQuaide guided the attendees through all aspects of a balanced running program.

Our Annual Holiday Fun Run was a huge success as usual. Those in attendence enjoyed a beautiful run on a chilly winter morning. Groups ran or walked for an easy 3 or 5 miles and returned to the store for a delicious pancake breakfast provided and cooked by Future Track owner Bill Duley. All those in attendence were given a free t-shirt; the first a series of "Max" shirts that we will be making. You have known Max for years as the stick figure running in our logo. Max will now be included in Future Track shirts that really speak to the endurance athlete and fitness minded person. Stay tuned for more designs to be announced through our website!
