The Summer Running Program is a pre-season training program for the Rebels Cross Country and Jackson Cross Country teams, which is made up of incoming 6th - 12th graders. We invite all that may be interested in running XC this fall with either the high school program or our middle school program to join us this summer. For more info contact Coach Moorhead (high school) at kmoorhead@comcast.net or Coach Crandall (middle school) at crandallcraig@msn.com.

Keep a daily "Running Log" for the Summer, recording how far, how it felt and what trail you ran. At the conclusion of the summer the coaching staff will award "Summer Mileage" t-shirts to those who put in the miles!

We encourage all to attend at least 3 running sessions a week at a minimum.    Attending at least 3 sessions allows for your own personal flexibility with summer activities.  The greater the attendance during the summer, the greater chances you will have a break-thru season this Fall!

Summer Mileage T-Shirts will be awarded at the end of the summer training season. Those who have reached 200, 300, 400+ will receive the 2016 Summer Mileage "T"!
