Alumni/community XC race

Caribou High School will host the ninth annual Alumni/Community Cross Country Race on Friday, Aug. 17 at 8 p.m. on the CHS trails. Registration will begin at 6:30 p.m. The race is 2.75 miles in length and is for people of all ages.

Categories include 50 and over, eighth grade and under, and one for high school and elite runners. Participants can race as an individual or as part of a team. Teams can have up to five people, but must have at least three to score and can be men’s, women’s, or mixed.

There is no entry fee for the race. Runners start in various groups according the their age category, each group starting one minute apart, so everyone has a fair chance of winning. Scoring will be by place, not time, and winners will get alumni race T-shirts. For more information, email Roy Alden at ralden@rsu39.org.
