Our goal is to provide an opportunity to have as many boys race under 4:20 and girls under 5:05 as possible. Your entire team does NOT have to attend, but complete teams are welcome. We are going to make this as professional as possible with individual introductions and precise start time. Last year's athletes enjoyed the experience. There will be a gift for all athlete's who qualify.
