The Harwood Union Cross Country Team hosted its first Summer Fun Run of the season on Monday. The weather was perfect and the trails were in great shape after the recent rain.

The top finishers in the 5K run were Mike Griffith, Waterbury (22:39); Jacob Pittman, Waterbury (24:31); Charlie Flint, Waterbury (25:52); Maisie Franke, North Duxbury (26:18); Celia Wing, Waterbury (26:21); Matt Dagan, Waterbury (26:58); Hannah Allen, Ripton (30:10); Jordan Allen, Ripton (30:12); Heidi Hales, Waterbury (30:36); and Matt Lehman, Moretown (31:02).

The top finishers in the 3K Run were Patrick Migonis, Waterbury (16:55); Alison Migonis, Waterbury (16:56); and Vanessa Lehman of Moretown.

The next Harwood Union Cross Country Summer Fun Run is Monday, July 31. 

Registration starts at 6 p.m. and the runs start at 6:30 p.m. There are 3K and 5K options and half-mile kids race for younger ones. Anyone is welcome to walk the course as well. 

Entry fee: Kids are free. No cost for current Harwood runners. All others $5. Proceeds from entry fees help to fund our team’s transportation costs for out of state races.

If you are an incoming Harwood Freshman runner or any Harwood student interested in running XC this fall, these runs are a great way to meet the team captains and get some running in before the start of the season.
