About this race

Meet the Airedales
Featuring:

Alma High School Cross Country Team Time Trial
Twilight XC 5K (Open Community Race)

Join us on the last Saturday in August for Meet the Airedales, an evening of racing, community, and support for the Alma Cross Country Team.

The evening begins with the Kids' Half Mile Fun Run, followed by introductions of the Alma High School Cross Country Team and their season opening time trial. The night concludes with the Twilight XC 5K, an open race for runners and walkers of all ages on our new grass cross country course.

Whether you're competing, cheering on a runner, or simply supporting local student athletes, we'd love to have you. All proceeds directly benefit the Alma Cross Country Team, helping provide equipment, travel, and other resources throughout the season.

Come help us kick off a new tradition. We look forward to seeing you at the starting line!
