The Greater Williamsburg Distance Running Club is hosting at The Spikesburg Story 2,4,6,8,10 run and walk on Greensprings Trail with the goal of raising over $2000 dollars to support a new WJCC pilot program called the WJCC Middle School Cross Country Club at each of the middle schools (Berkeley, Hornsby, James Blair, and Toano) from February to April.
The proceeds from this run will help pilot a Spring cross country program with the goal of a fully funded cross country program each year which will run in the Spring at each middle school as part of their athletic program.
The pilot program is a collaborative effort between WJCC athletics, SHIP (School Health Initiative Program) and GWDRC (Greater Williamsburg Distance Running Club) at this point and will include:
- Daily training after school
- Stipends for a Head Coach and Assistant Coach
- T-shirts for each participant
- A middle school championship race with medals to the top 15 runners at the Greensprings Trail
The goal of the pilot program is to have a fully supported cross-country team for middle schoolers in 7th and 8th grade at each of the four middle school teams in WJCC for School Year 2024-25.
