High School Aid Station Challenge
All the aid stations on the course are staffed by high school cross country and track teams. At the finish line you will vote for your
favorite aid station with the winning school getting the most money for their school’s running program and an automatic spot in the
following year’s challenge. Second through 4th will be awarded cash for their programs as well.
An Aid Station Challenge can help our
team in many ways. Not only financially,
but the team building that happens in
these events is very positive.

How You Can Help
We have put up $2,000 for the Challenge. When you register you can also donate to the Challenge.
This is important because many teams get next to nothing for their programs. Together we can help a team send their runners to an out of area meet or get new uniforms.
Thank You 2010 Runners!
