From the Organizer
This fun 5K and 1 mile run is open to all ages! We will have age group awards for the 5k from 0-60+, as well as age group awards for under 18 in the one mile. All runners and walkers welcome! Proceeds will go to support the Centura Cross Country team.
Packet pick-up and registration, as well as the start and finish, will be at the Cairo Pool Park, 311 W Syria St, Cairo, NE 68824. Registration is at 7:00AM and the race starts at 7:30AM.
For registrations after June 15 we will place a shirt order after the race. We will have some shirts on hand on race day, but the size selection will be limited. Please understand that our T-shirt printer needs to have the shirts in stock and have time to print them.
Registrations online are accepted until midnight June 26 and we will take day-of registrations at the starting area. Race day registration will be $35 with a shirt (to be ordered), or $25 with no shirt.
If you prefer, use Registration Form PDF to download a printable form to mail in. Must be received by June 15 to guarantee your size shirt.
