COVID Update:

COVID-19 remains a dynamic challenge for all, especially sports teams.  As a precaution we will follow the Wake County Public School System's lead for its athletic teams and require face coverings for all athletes and coaches attending the Dorothea Dix Park Cross Country Race.  Athletes will be required to wear a mask unless they are directly participating in a race.
