Race Description:  This is an
under-distance "rust buster" event designed to give students a chance
to kick off the XC season with a manageable distance regardless of experience
or fitness.  The entire course is run on natural surfaces with a finish on
the track inside the stadium.  The event is hosted at no cost as a service
to the community by Santa Rita High School and the Santa Rita XC Program. 
We hope you enjoy this event and look forward to growing it into an anticipated
annual event.
