The Crusader 5k is our new course that starts and finishes on the old “cinder” track inside the stadium and goes around the school athletic fields and grounds. The course follows much of the same path as the old course (without the hairpin turn!), so it is still flat and fast and spectator friendly.

Athletic trainer is available near the finish line.
