The Mud Run is a fun way to begin the season with a race like no other.  The course includes 8 foot high walls to scale, a slip and slide to shot down, several 3 foot barriers to leap over, muddy wooded trails and several water/mud pits to run/swim through.  Our next three races, Hope, Calvin and Lansing, are interscholastic races with regional colleges.  The Raptor Run is sponsored by the Creation Museum and includes a tour of the museum after the race is finished.  Run Thru the Rapids offers a 5 or 10k race through downtown Grand Rapids with sweet views of the city and river.  The Alger Heights 5k is a fun race, all participants are encouraged to wear a costume for the run.  And of course nationals is our chance to shine as we return to Cedarville and defend our 7th place finish and aim to move up in the  results.
