Alta Cross Country 100 Mile Relay
Saturday, November 8, 2008

Our annual 100 Mile Relay is a fun and fit activity for Alta High School Cross Country Runners. Each athlete will be reaching for their personal best mile times. Students set realistic one mile goals based on age, ability and development. Refreshments will be provided by the Alta Cross Country Parent organization. Each athlete will receive a sponsor’s t shirt as a result of completing the event successfully. The shirts will be ordered and distributed upon receipt of deposit in the main office.
Our goal is to help the Athletes raise at least $150.00 to fund the Footlocker Western Regional Meet in Walnut California, end of season banquet, and purchase Cross Country Team Equipment. We hope that each family or business will participate in the 100 Mile Relay to the best of their ability through pledging. If each Athlete raises $150.00, we will achieve our goal of raising $8000.00. We’re hoping to make this100 Mile relay the best ever, so the more contributions you raise, the more successful we’ll be at achieving our goal. Thank you very much for your participation!
