DHS XC Run-A-Thon
Tax deductible
Decatur Cross Country has a legacy of success, and we want to continue to build on that. In 2017, both the boys and girls varsity teams were the region runnners-up, and competed in the state meet. Our goals for 2018 are to WIN region and place in the top 5 in state.
Our team has grown by leaps and bounds over the last few years, and we now boast a roster of nearly 100 athletes! Because of this big roster, we no longer have enough uniforms to issue to everyone, and we are raising money to purchase matching uniforms and warm-ups for all of our athletes. We also have to pay entry fees and transportation costs to all the meets we enter as we prepare for the region and state competition at the end of the season.
Our fundraiser this year will take place on Wednesday, August 8. That afternoon, all of our runners (and coaches!) will have 90 minutes to complete as many laps around a 400 meter track as possible. Competition is already fierce, and some athletes are planning to try to complete a half marathon! Stay tuned to see if anyone makes it - and if you are in the neighborhood feel free to come out to the Avondale Track to watch the event!
If you have pledged an amount per lap, the number of laps each athlete completes will be posted by August 10. If you have pledged a flat contribution, feel free to donate that amount at any time. We are asking that all donations be complete by Saturday, August 18 which is the day of our first meet of the season. Please note that the Decatur Bulldog Boosters are a 501c3 charity, so all donations are tax deductible.
