Course Map

Three loops, a big hill, a forest, and a cemetery—Hillcrest Academy’s cross-country race has it all! Since 2019, Pella has been a regular participant in this exciting meet, which offers a refreshing change of pace as we enter the post-season. The course allows spectators to catch glimpses of the runners as they weave through the forested area, though some parts of the race are more challenging to view. So, lace up your running shoes and be prepared to hustle a bit to keep up with the action. And don’t forget to bring some cash for the fantastic concession stand!
