In 2008, the Lexington High School Cross Country / Track & Field program hosted its first annual Alumni Race on the same, nearly all-road course the team has called home since 1970. Over the last 17 years, with the support of athletes, coaches, and parent volunteers our tradition has grown into an event that allows us to share the sport we love with the larger community. The Lexington Legacy 5k run/walk will be held this year on Small Business Saturday, November 29th at 9am. All proceeds will go to support the LHS Cross Country / Track & Field team. Course Details: The race is held on the same nearly all-road course that has been home to the Cross Country team since 1970. Originally 2.9 miles, in 2014 the course was extended to the full 5k course that runners with traverse on race day. The race begins and ends at the same location just behind the Little League Baseball diamond at Lincoln Field in Lexington. It heads out to Worthen Road, and winds its way through the neighborhood surrounding Lexington High School. The course features some challenging hills in the middle portion of the race that help to create the best home course advantage in the Middlesex League. For Spectators: The course offers a very spectator friendly layout. Spectators can view participants at the start, then walk no more than 400 meters to the one-mile mark. Participants loop back to that exact location just after the two-mile mark. Spectators can then walk back to Lincoln Field to catch participants as they finish.
