This year's event will take place at Westerville North High School (950 County Line Rd, Westerville, OH 43081). The day will start with the Open 2-Mile (Adults and High School Grades 9-12) at 8:00am . This will be followed by the Middle School 2-mile at 8:30am, and last but certainly not least, the Elementary 2-mile at 9:00am. All races will run with combined genders and finish inside the stadium, where spectators can watch from the stands!

High schoolers and middle schoolers: Create a team of 3 (or join a team that your friends have already set up within the registration process) to be eligible for team scoring and have a chance at winning random prizes! Random apparel prizes will be given to 3 members of two different teams registered in the HS/MS races.

All registration proceeds from this race will be used to help the Westerville North cross country and track programs!

Please note: if you are signing up for one of the elementary/middle/high school races, you should sign up to compete with the grade level you are going into this fall!
