It was decided that the 2021 version will be much bigger with hugs all around but not better as it was pretty great seeing everyone who could attend the Pandemic edition. Pix updated 11-27 with help from Coach B.

8-4-20 - With the decision by the District to go online only for Fall, XC has been moved from Fall to Spring (Season 3 of 4). With no organized races available currently, our goal now is to keep fit and stay healthy while enjoying the great weather in the Northwest. With the new season beginning in Feb/March 2021, all runs should be focused on feel and contribute to building base. Use of the new web site will continue and we'll adapt and update as the goal is to have everyone stay engaged with the group.
summerfunruns.org is the site for run times & locations for interested/active runners . The site will be updated by team captains at least weekly with a calendar of events and what will be expected for group activities to meet safety guidelines. All Summer activities are by parent consent with social distancing and proper hygiene required. Contact any current XC team member to be included in the Groupchat.
