Head to the Tom Rutledge Cross Country Course in Joplin, MO for the 2nd Annual Runaround XC Festival, a free event open to all student athletes and cross country teams! You'll enjoy an evening packed with shoe demos from top running brands, giveaways, educational clinics, and friendly competition as you complete timed 1/2-mile laps and vie for awards like "Extra Mile" (most laps), "Gazelle" (fastest lap), and "Iron Pack" (team with most laps). Test out trainers and spikes at each brand's demo station while building camaraderie with fellow runners.
