From the Organizer
The Campus to Campus Challenge is the target race for the Waco Striders Summer Training Program. Registration is free so no T-shirts, Finisher Medals, or Awards (just bragging rights). We will still be chip timing the run and have some refreshments at the end. You do need to be a member of the Waco Striders Running Club and you can join during the registration process.
The Campus to Campus Challenge will be held as our normal Saturday Group Run. That means that the course will be open to vehicular traffic as normal for our group runs. We encourage you to review our Rules of The Road for safety, courtesy, and fun.
As the name Campus to Campus implies, we will be running from Anniversary Park to the Baylor Campus then to the MCC Campus before finishing back at Anniversary Park. The Baylor Campus leg is all roads. The MCC Campus leg is all flat trails.
Don't want to visit both campuses? You have the option to enter just the 1st leg to Baylor and skip the 2nd leg to the MCC campus.
