Available distances:
- 7.4K run out-and-back along the Black River
- 4K walk and fun run out-and-back
Registration fees are fixed: individual entries are $20 regardless of registration date. Family pricing is available as a flat fee of $50 for up to four family members, with an additional $10 per person for families larger than four. The family discount must be applied in person at the Edgar May Health and Recreation Center or at the event rather than online. A virtual entry is offered for $10; proceeds support the Springfield High School Cross Country team and submitted results may be posted.
On race day there will be water, an electrolyte drink, and light snacks including donuts and Otter Pops.
