The Eighth Annual Wayland XC Festival, presented by the Baldwin Insurance Agency, will be held on Sunday, Oct. 13 at the Wayland High School. The event includes three races – a three-kilometer (1.86 miles) race for ages 11 to 14, a three-kilometer race for ages 10 and under and an open five-kilometer (3.1 miles) race.
The varied terrain of the cross-country course, traveling through fields and wooded trails, makes for challenging and exciting races. Unlike most road races, the venue for the Wayland XC Festival allows spectators terrific vantage points to see competitors throughout large portions of the races.
The youth races include the following classes: 8 and under, 9 – 10, 11 – 12, and 13 – 14. Trophies will be awarded to the top three boys and girls in each class. The youth 3K races start at 9:30am.
The open 5K race starts at 11 a.m. Awards include free shoes from Inov-8 and Reebok and gift certificates from Marathon Sports, The North Face and The Boston Running Company.
