Organiser's Description
Join us for the 3rd Annual BUZZ, SWEAT & TEARS 5K SUPPORTING THE FORT MILL HIGH SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY TEAM! This festive Halloween-themed fundraiser brings our community together in support of a team of 100+ athletes from Gold Hill Middle, Pleasant Knoll Middle, Banks Trail Middle and Fort Mill High Schools. The Buzz Sweat & Tears 5K is for participants of all ages and fitness levels; walkers and strollers are welcome. Supporters - of racers and the cross country team - are encouraged to come check out the vendors, the raffle, and cheer on the walkers and runners.
The FMXC program provides a positive training environment with a reputation for success in personal athletic growth as well as championship titles. Fundraising allows us to avoid imposing mandatory fees for participants, keeping the program accessible to all. And, it helps to cover costs associated with ensuring a safe, inclusive and positive experience (such as uniforms, travel fees, race registration fees, water coolers, and sun shelters).
