🏃 Why We Run
The Bearcat Pride 5K directly supports the Anson High School Cross Country Program. Last season, the Bearcats grew to 20 runners, and for the first time in over 15 years, fielded both boys and girls teams. They competed at the Rocky River Conference Meet and Regionals.

With the new Anson Middle School being built next to Anson High School, we hope to one day construct a cross-country course connecting the two campuses, creating a lasting legacy for our runners.

Your support helps us grow opportunities for our student-athletes.

We appreciate your support of Bearcat XC!

About Wadesboro

Learn more about the host city, Wadesboro.

Wadesboro is a town in North Carolina. Named after Colonel Thomas Wade who co-founded the municipality, it is a down on its luck textile mill town, but it has an intriguing wildlife refuge. Probably what sets Wadesboro apart more than anything though is that it was used for the set of "The Color Purple", in addition to "Evil Dead 2".
