Rally for Cross Roads 2024

Join us for the 10th Annual Rally for Cross Roads! The Rally for Cross Roads is an annual fundraising event for the Cross Roads Annual Fund that is fun for all ages. We are excited to combine previous events and host an on-site run/walk race along with an afternoon of activities, including a volleyball game, to have double the fun as we raise funds to support camp.

On Saturday October 5, 2024 lace up your running (or walking!) shoes to take part in the Rally for Cross Roads Run/Walk. All ages and abilities are invited to participate. You can sign up to compete in the 5K race to earn a prize, or for the family friendly 2k run/walk.

You are invited to come to Cross Roads to race on-site, or participate by running wherever you live! If you want to come to camp to help cheer on the runners, please register as part of the "Cheer Squad" so that we know you are coming.

Race Shirts (optional)
We have partnered with our friends at Bonfire again to create some memorable race shirts. These are optional and must be ordered through this site:Cross Roads Rally Shirt Order. Short sleeve are $24.99 and long sleeve are $29.99.
Shirt deadline is September 13th, if you want it in time to wear to the race. Shirts ship directly to your home and will not be available at camp.
