Competitive 5K Race starts at 10:00 am

The Rick Neill Memorial has been run as one of the premier High School Cross Country meets in North Texas for the past 15 years. This year we have moved the race to a post season race and made it a community invovled holiday family event. The race itself is not your typical road race! It is run along the shores of Lake Lewisville on a traditional cross country course. The out and back style race offers a great challenge to the runners and very good race viewing for the spectators. The signature feature of the course is a classic 200 meter uphill sprint to the pine tree lined finish line.

Family Fun Run Race  (1 Mile) starts at 11:00 am

We will have kid friendly activities that include face painting, snow cones/hot chocolate, letters to Santa, a DJ and other booths for the entire family to enjoy. 

All activities will conclude at 1:00 pm.
