🍁🏃‍♀️ Well… September and October are officially CRAZY around here! 😂

These are two of our busiest months of the year, with almost 40 events in these months! That’s a whole lot of bibs, timing equipment, finish lines, volunteers, runners early mornings & late nights! ❤️

One of our favorite things about this time of year is getting to see so many familiar faces—and meeting plenty of new ones—at races all over the Ozarks. From little community 5Ks to big school meets and everything in between, we love being part of it.

If you’ve been saying, “I really need to do a race,” consider this your reminder! 😉 Pick one, grab a friend, bring the family and come have some fun with us.

And if running isn’t your thing, you can still follow along! Check out the live results on race day and see how your favorite runner, kid, friend or teammate is doing.

There’s just something special about cross country season — the team colors lined up at the start, coaches encouraging their runners, families cheering from the sidelines, and that final push down the finish chute. We love getting to be a small part of it all!

We saw some really impressive performances this week, and we put together a little recap highlighting some of the top varsity runners from all three meets.
