Organiser's description
This year's race again features the Cross Country Division, designed for current and former high school cross country runners. We'll score it like a meet and watch the showdown unfold between two fierce teams in an event unique in the running landscape. Team one will consist of those who will compete on fall 2024 cross country teams and/or are currently in high school. Team two will consist of alums from high school cross country teams. We'll award medals for the first 7 finishers and designate a champion. Come show your stuff in a great pre-season event for current runners or fun way to show you still have it if you're an alum. There will be no age divisions for this event. Just sign up as current high school runner or high school running alum as you register.
The race is a fundraiser for the Villa Grove High School cross country programs and features the winner of a May shirt design contest. If you can't race, please consider donating to help us achieve our $5,000 fundraising goal! If you can race, we hope you'll consider giving a little extra as you register.
