We are excited to partner with the Newcastle Cross County Team and the Madness on Main event to bring you the 5th annual XC Alumni 5K/1K Race/Walk!
This race is a fundraiser for the cross country team and also one of the many fun events taking place as part of the Madness on Main again this year! For more on what is going on as part of the Madness on Main check out their Facebook page! They have some super fun family-friendly activities going on all day, and what better way to kick it off than to get out and beat the heat and join us for a 5K or 1K Race/Walk!
Schedule
The event begins at 8:15 am with the 1K race/walk. All ages are welcome! And strollers too! This will be followed by the 5K race/walk at 8:30 am.

All proceeds will go to the Newcastle Cross County Team to help them purchase popsicles and other snacks for after practice, food for breakfast after their Saturday morning runs, and for their team bonding dinners!
