Records: This is NOT a race. However, if you have a competitive spirit, feel free to GPS your run all the way to the top. The Master’s University Cross Country team will begin the run at the 7:30 start time. Anyone who times their run from our start line all the way to touching the fence at the top without pausing will be placed on our event record list.
