    This race is put on two high school seniors, at Loganville Christian Academy, for their senior project. The race will be held on April 19th, 2026 at Loganville Christian Academy’s XC course. Due to the fact that the course isn’t flat, it is not suitable for strollers and runners should expect to run up and downhill. The first 1000$ covers the cost put on the event. All proceeds after that go to Emory Win-shape, specifically for helping patients afford their cancer treatment. We appreciate everyone who is contributing by running or donating and joining us in the fight against Cancer. Thank you so much!
