About this race

The goal of the Pirates 5k is to raise money to help pay for runners on the team to attend summer camp and provide financial aid for them throughout the season. Funds are also raised to help the Corinth Holders High School cross country team to help pay for their meet entries and general expenses. We aim to make cross country and running an experience that is for everyone!
