This is a fundraising event for the Cross Country & Track teams of West Henderson High School to create locker rooms for the kids (currently the kids have to change in the restrooms and have no where to store their personal items during practice). The monies from this event will also create scholarships for kids to travel to larger meets (like Nationals) that cannot afford to do so. We're asking each participant to raise the $250 in addition to the entry fee.
Packet pickup on Friday, Aug. 2nd from 6 PM to 8 PM. Location TBA
Race day will take place at West Henderson HS Track. We will alternate direction of travel every 4 hours.
Participants are allowed 2 crew members at the event. Weighted 10 x 10 (no stakes) are permitted on the infield of the track.
Participants have 24 hours to complete as many laps as possible.
West Henderson HS athletes will be running throughout the event. We'll have 2 hour blocks for them to participate in small numbers as to not affect those runing in the 24 hour event.
Each participant will receive a personalized sweatshirt after the event with their name & distance covered on the sleeve.
Those covering 50k will receive a pottery mug w/ event logo. Those covering 50-miles to 100k will recieve the mug & a custom belt. Those covering 100-miles or more will receive the mug, belt, & a custom belt buckle.
Drinks (hot & cold), Hot food, & snacks will be provided. More details on menu specific items will be announced closer to race date.
Each participant will receive a door prize given away each hour during the event.
We're working on a post race party to celebrate with everyone after the event.
