From the Organizer
What better way to welcome August than with a summer sendoff cross country event! This will be hosted at the incredible LCU Cross Country course, the same course where the Big 12 Championship and NCAA regionals have been run! There will be 3 races offered. There will be a traditional cross country 3 mile open to all ages, an open 1 mile for all ages, and a 1 mile that is only for kids age 11 and under. 100% of the proceeds from this event will go towards our Lubbock Area Elementary Running program.
Please check out this short video of what some of our Elementary events look like during the school year. They are all FREE for kids and families and are OPEN to anyone as we continue to introduce more and more to cross country and track!

** For the 3 mile, we will do the green loop first around the lake, and then do the final 2 miles. The course will be the same as pictured, though.
Note that the 1 mile course will start next to the finish arch and will be 1 loop around the lake (the green line)
