General Information
Redbird Run is a fun 5K run and walk hosted during the Virginia, IL BBQ. The Virginia BBQ is a small town festival with the support of a dashing community. To go along with our race, Virginia BBQ will have a pageant, vendors, parade, carnival rides, and tons of entertainment from June 5-7.
The Virginia Cross Country Team will be hosting this exciting event. The Virginia Cross Country Team consists of fifth - twelfth graders from both Virginia and Triopia schools. From August to October, the athletes participate in 25 meets around the central area. Last year, we had two Jr. High athletes (one male, one female) compete in the State Meet in Normal, IL. We also had one High School athlete compete at IHSA Sectionals. Our other athletes made huge improvements by dropping time and hitting personal bests.
The money raised from the event will go toward celebrating student success during and after the season, new uniforms, and new workout equipment.
