Rescheduled Primary Cross-country Races and Early Dismissal K-Gr. 5

We are grateful to inform you that the district has been able to reschedule the primary cross-country races! It will now be held on Tuesday, May 30, 2023. There is a new location.


New Location

The new location is the Albion Fairgrounds. Parking will be on the gravel lot, Planet Ice lot, and the Sports Complex lot for those willing to walk a little bit further. The run will start and finish near the mainstage. We will also put school tents in this area.

An approximate map of the new course:

Exact course route still to be determined.


Spotters Needed

As this course is not entirely visible from the mainstage/tent area, we will need lots of spotters to help keep our racers safe and on the right trail. If you can be a spotter, please let Mrs. Robbins know by emailing her at .
