From the Organizer
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 18 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. Our track family invites you to join us at the Lexington Legacy 5k run/walk this year on Saturday, November 28th at 9am. All proceeds will go to support the nearly 300 boys and girls on the LHS Cross Country / Track & Field team.
