McHenry Runathon
About this race
Join us for the 3rd Annual McHenry Runathon—a fun, all-ages community event established to support the MCHS cross country team.
1 hour... Walk or run... How far can you go? The McHenry Runathon is a unique event where all participants are measured not by time but by the distance traveled in 1 hour. Complete laps on our custom 1-mile course, which includes gravel, grass, asphalt, and track surfaces, entirely within the McCracken Field athletic complex.
Family friendly; walkers welcome! Register by July 27 to guarantee yourself a Runathon T-shirt.
All proceeds go directly to the MCHS cross country team for food and team activities throughout the season. There are two ways that the team will raise money:
1) Your $25 entry fee to the event
2) Direct monetary donations (available through the registration website)
Thank you for your support!
