Final peach orders and money
Submit final order totals, payment method, and pickup or delivery notes by Friday, July 10, 2026.
Start Here
These are the items that should not be buried in separate parent emails this week.
Altitude Camp waiver
Camp is August 1-4 in the Crested Butte / Mt. Crested Butte area. Finish the waiver and reply if an athlete status changed.
BTMR aid station
Palmer Ridge is assigned to Bob's Road Aid Station. Coach Luke is handling orientation; volunteers still need race-day availability.
Fall clearance
Register through Mrs. Feil. PRHS has not posted the 2026 fall clearance deadline yet, so families should finish before official practice.
Locked vs Moving
Use this block when writing updates. If it is on the right side, avoid repeating it as final until the detail is actually set.
First official practice is Monday, August 10
Meet at 3:30 PM on the PR track. Practice is expected to end around 5:45-6:00 PM.
Eligibility requires five official fall practices
Summer training does not count toward the five-practice requirement before racing.
SportsYou summer code is NH6P-PGVC
Use SportsYou for weather changes, location moves, cancellations, and quick reminders.
Fundraising buckets are separate
Aid stations support school-season team travel. Peaches build Bears TC credit for Altitude Camp and NXR.
Camp groups, transport, food, and final balances
These are being finalized after waiver status and peach credits are cleaned up.
Peach pickup date and delivery support
The delivery window is July 15-25. Exact arrival date, pickup support, and customer delivery help still need confirmation.
Fall meet logistics
Entries, bus times, addresses, meals, return plans, and race-day details will come as each meet gets closer.
Selected travel rosters and possible added meets
Roy Griak is limited to 10 boys and 10 girls. Possible added meets after Roy Griak and Grand Junction remain TBD.

Fundraising

Peach fundraiser
Peaches only this year. No pears. Start with family, neighbors, coworkers, and past buyers. Collect payment when the order is placed and write each order down right away.
| Detail | Current Source-of-Truth |
|---|---|
| Deadline | Orders and money are due Friday, July 10, 2026. |
| Delivery | Window is July 15-25. Exact arrival date is still a moving piece. |
| Price | Full box $60. Half box $35. Venmo is @BearsTC with a $2 fee, so Venmo totals are $62 full and $37 half. |
| Athlete credit | $16 per full box and $12 per half box. Credit can go toward Altitude Camp, NXR, or both. |
| Form notes | Include payment method and pickup/delivery notes, especially if you may be out of town or need help. |
| Team challenge | Last year the team sold $11,195. If this year beats that and goes over $12,000, Coach Luke does the Taco Bell 50K. |
Balanced Rock: completed June 14, 2026. Keep as historical context only.
Peach credits: help lower Altitude Camp and NXR costs.
Aid stations: support school-season team travel.
Travel Notes
These are the travel notes families should see before costs, rosters, and logistics start changing inside email threads.
Altitude Camp
Camp is set for Saturday, August 1 through Tuesday, August 4 in the Crested Butte / Mt. Crested Butte area. Current target cost is $325-350 all-in, before final peach-credit cleanup.
- Includes transportation, food at camp except athlete snacks, lodging, and team activities.
- Still finalizing lodging groups, transportation, food, and final athlete costs.
- If an athlete's camp status changed, reply so lodging and transportation are not planned around the wrong number.
Roy Griak Invite
September 19 travel meet. Limited to 10 boys and 10 girls. The roster will mostly be athletes who have consistently been in the top 10 on each side through the first three meets, with coach discretion for the final travel roster.
Grand Junction
October 9 overnight trip open to all athletes. Lodging, meals, and itinerary will come later. Athletes not going to Grand Junction have the October 8 1600m time trial with Cheyenne Mountain.
NXR Southwest
November 21 is listed as the tentative date. Peach credits can go toward NXR, but details should stay flagged until the plan is final.
Health Reminders
These reminders belong here so every weekly email does not have to recreate the same ferritin, fueling, and gear language.
Fueling routine
Eat before practice, bring water, and recover after training. Fueling matters more as training gets heavier.
Ferritin and iron
If an athlete is unusually tired, flat in workouts, slow to recover, short of breath, sick often, or dealing with repeated injuries, consider asking a medical provider about serum ferritin. Go through a provider before supplements.
Health context
Tell Coach Luke about injury history, ferritin or iron concerns, allergies, medication needs, or stress load before those details become race-week problems.
Gear check
Check training shoes, water bottle, sunscreen, layers, rain jacket, and race-day bag before official practice starts.
Five-practice rule
Athletes need five official fall practices before they can race. Summer training does not count toward those five practices.
On-your-own days
If Bears TC does not work or an athlete needs a packet, reach out. Cost should not be the reason someone misses summer training.
