Race to the Head of the Class 5k + 10k – March 30, 2019 – Tryon NC

March 30, 2019 Holy Cross Episcopal Church will host its annual Race To The Head Of The Class runners road race. There will be a 10K and 5K run plus a Kids Fun Run.

The course is moderately challenging (this is the mountains!) with varying scenery and some nice twists and turns. Once you finish you are rewarded with one of the best hot breakfasts you’ll ever have after a race. Holy Cross supplies many of the breakfast casseroles to the Tryon Half Marathon and if you’ve ever run the Tryon Half you’ll know what’s in store. We like to call it “Same great breakfast for half the distance!”. We also offer our nursery with staffed child care!

Funds raised from the race all go to the ‘Feed A Family’. This program began as an extension to the Feed a Kid Back – Pack program offered by the local food bank (Thermal Belt Outreach) which provides components for a weekly meal for needy families distributed through the schools to families during the school year. The Feed a Family program provides a meal each week to those same families throughout the summer months. It is coordinated by the Congregational Church and the race will help our Youth raise funds for the program and they will also participate in packing food over the summer months.
