The Nevada R-5 Foundation is hosting our 4th Annual Invest In Excellence 5K. Our goal is to Invest In Excellence and help students get to the finish line by supporting teacher appreciation and student success. As we love partnering with the R5 Cross Country team, a portion of the proceeds raised will go to the Nevada R-5 Cross Country team for their support and participation in this event.
There will be awards for the overall top female and male runner in each age category (each runner will receive a shirt). The categories are as follows: 18 and under, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70+. Each runner will receive a t-shirt.
The course is an easy course with gradual inclines and declines.
Fees are as follows:
$10 - ages 1-21, Nevada R-5 Employee
$25 - ages 22 and up
