Cross City Kids

05/14/2016

Next Saturday morning, we will host our season-ending 5k. This is intended as a fun celebration of all of the kids' (and parents') hard work, and we need all of your help to make it happen. We will time the event so each kid can benchmark their 5k time, but the goal is for each child to compete the 5k at whatever pace he or she is comfortable.

We need all of the volunteers we can find to make this race a success. Parents, siblings, grandparents, and other relatives and family friends are all welcome. We will need to people to run with the kids at various paces, people to watch our street crossings, a timer, a photographer, and as many people as we can to cheer on and support the kids. We have new medals for each registered kid who completes the race. We will also have gatorade and treats at the finish for the kids.

We will start and finish behind the Visitor's Center (Lindell side). Please try to arrive by 9:00, and we will start the race between 9:15 and 9:30. We should wrap up and be complete by 10:15. Also, please have your son or daughter wear their cross city kids shirt during the 5k.

Due to our coaches' and returning kids' extensive conflicts with other sports this Fall, Cross City Kids is not offering a Fall session. However, we will be back bigger and even better next Spring. We hope to see everyone back on the running trails then!
