Unleash Your Speed: Exciting Time Trial Event this Saturday at AHS Stadium!

Get ready to run! This Saturday, February 1, 2025, brings a thrilling chance for all athletes to showcase their speed and stamina. The much-anticipated Time Trial event starts at 12 PM at the AHS Stadium. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or just beginning your running journey, this occasion is perfect for pushing your limits, connecting with fellow athletes, and having fun!




What's a Time Trial?


A Time Trial is an exciting format where athletes demonstrate their racing skills in a controlled environment. Unlike standard races held in traditional meets, a time trial allows each participant to run a set distance against the clock, aiming for a personal best. This unique setup reduces some of the pressures of head-to-head competition, letting runners focus solely on their performance.


This event is not just about racing; it's about personal growth. For instance, last year, 70% of participants reported setting new personal records during time trials. By focusing on your individual time rather than competing directly with others, you can truly compare your skills and build a solid foundation for the upcoming season.

  2. In-Person Support: It’s always uplifting to have teammates and friends cheering you on! Last year’s event saw a 50% increase in attendance, showing how much support can impact performance.
