Cross Country Experience

Sat October 12, 2024 Rutherfordton, NC 28139 US Directions

Description

Gather your friends to race on the R-S Central High School cross country course. The course features 2 loops on mostly dirt trails with some paved sections and minimum elevation gain. Runners start the race on the north end zone of the football field and head into the woods where they will wind their way through a canopy of foliage and fields until they return to the stadium for a finish on our brand-new Geo Surface track. This is a great 5k for runners, joggers, and walkers alike. Spectators will also love it because they will get to see and cheer you on multiple times throughout the race.
