Join us at the Castle for this Traditional and Fun Event for Families and Runners!
Proceeds benefit the Richwoods High School Soccer Program and Field Improvement Projects.
This event features a 5K walk/run beginning and finishing at The Castle (our soccer field). The generous support over the last eleven races have allowed us to complete major field upgrades so our course will be finishing on the upgraded pitch. The field has been leveled and crowned, a watering system installed and new grass. We have added team shelters, lighting training walls, stairs and a new concessions building. Your support will allow the program to continue moving forward to bring the facilities up to a standard on par with our guests and competitors. It will also give the Richwoods players a home field to be proud to defend.
Packet pickup is scheduled for Friday, November 14th between 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm and on Race Day between 7:00 AM-8:30 AM in the Richwoods High School Cafeteria (Please go to the back entrance of the school, by the practice football field).
