Team Events

Team events throughout the year add spice to the season and provide opportunity to test your fitness and have some fun with goal-setting. We even have out-of-town camps and tours. You may participate in any or all of these events regardless of your level or skill and according to your personal season goals.

Training Series

Three series in 2008 combine challenge with adventure and are guaranteed to move you out of your comfort zone.

Fearsome Foursome

• Ultimate Run, 01/20 or 01/24: Offroad run from Woodside Elementary, up Wunderlich Park, across Skyline trail, and down Huddart Park. 2-5 hours, 18-20 miles, with pancakes in the parking lot afterward.
• 50K Yards in February: Month-long challenge to accumulate 50,000 yards in the pool. You don't have to swim with Menlo Masters for this challenge, just keep track of your yardage. An added incentive is that together with Menlo Masters we donate canned goods to the Menlo Park Senior Center "Brown Bag" program. For every 2000 yards you swim, bring in a can of food and Menlo Masters will match your donation with an additional can.
  
• Epic Ride, 03/22 or 03/26: 110 mile bike ride to the coast via 84, south on Hwy 1 to Bonny Doone, to Felton, and back up East Zayante to Skyline. Roughly 10,000 feet of climbing.
• Fearsome Tri, 04/12 or 04/15: A unique event that involves road cycling, mountain biking, trail running, road running, and swimming.

Grinder Series

A cycling challenge to climb six predetermined mountain peaks during the 16 weeks of our Season 2, between June 1 and Oct 3.

• Mt Tam
• Mt Diablo
• Mt Hamilton

King Series

Finish your year with the most unique multisport workouts you've ever seen. The King Series includes three events:
