What is this Cross Country Running?


Weak, wimpy, and those who are afraid to get some dirt in their shoes need not apply.

Expect to be scratched, muddied, bruised and to be out near the edge where life is in full color.

Splat Fun RUN!

Tuesday 8th at Northview Crossroads Middle School, 4400 Ambrose Ave NE
Grand Rapids, MI 49525 .

Girls will run 1st at 4:15, 7th graders then 8th graders.
Boys will run around 4:45, 7th then 8th.

They have more runners than they originally planned for so are running 4 races instead of 2. I am guessing they will do a staggered start, so if you want to watch I would plan on arriving early, 4pm and just enjoying the whole show so you don't miss your runner. 

I hope we are back around 7pm...check blog for ETA. Sorry we have never done a race like this so I am not sure what to expect.

Runners need to bring:
  • shoes (bring old ones if you got them)
  • old clothes (they will get "paint" on them)
  • old towel
  • water
  • snack (I'd bring 2 because 7pm without dinner is tough)
This is going to be AWESOME!!!!
