One month until race day!

We are now one month away from race day! Registration prices increase on April 1st, so get signed up soon. Plus, we need you to register by the end of March to guarantee your shirt size!

Please help spread the word about the 1 mile fun run we're holding this year too!

So far we have 42 registered participants, 40 for the 5K and 2 for the kids' one mile fun run. Remember, we need you registered before April 1st to guarantee your t-shirt in your size. Remember also that all kids who register for and run the fun run will receive a medal, but to be sure we have enough for all, we need as many as possible registered early.

We welcome runners and walkers of all paces, from the very fast to the very slow. There will be awards for the fastest runners, overall and in numerous age groups, both male and female. But you don't have to be fast to participate. Really, it's not so much about being fast as it is about being active!

We'd like to give a huge shout out and thank you to our sponsors too! Without these businesses and organizations, this race would not be possible. Your commitment to the kids, the community, and the cross country program is greatly appreciated! If you're not listed here as a sponsor, but would like to be a part of this great event, please check out our Sponsor's page for more details.

Register Early to Guarantee Shirt and Size!

Registration for the 5K is only $22.50 if you get in before April 1st, but there's an added benefit to register now! Make sure you register this month to guarantee your technical t-shirt in your size! If you plan to register your kids for the Eaglet 1 Mile Fun Run, the cost is only $15.00 until April 1st and registering in March guarantees a cotton t-shirt in their size. The supplier is working on the design now. As soon as its finished, we'll post pictures here.

Remember, all proceeds from this race benefit the Vilonia Cross Country program. Our athletes, from 7th to 12th grade, train all summer to be in shape for fall meets beginning in August. Once school starts, they show up at 5:00 AM to train. Day in and day out, these great kids are on the road, pounding the pavement, putting in the miles, before the sun makes its daily appearance.

Their sport doesn't generate revenue from ticket sales or concessions, so fundraisers are the only source of funds available for anything beyond the most basic of team expenses. Meals on the road, team sweatsuits, safety equipment for running in the dark, and a host of other common costs are covered by money raised from this event.

Your participation in this race goes to support a great bunch of hardworking young runners, the very future of our sport.

We look forward to seeing you on race day!
