This year (2023) the race is scheduled as planned under a new race director. Please see below if you have any questions.

You are invited to the 6th Annual Lehigh Lightning Cross Country Invitational. Below is the schedule for the events and awards. The course is mostly grass and is around the school and lake. It is very spectator friendly and has become a very competitive season opener with the finish being on the brand new rubber track!  

You will see teams from all over the State here.  We will have a concession stand, Snow Cone Vendor, and race shirt vendor on site. The entry fee for high school is $125 per gender team or $250 per school. Individual runners are $15 each. Please send your info and contract with your entry fee as soon as possible. We can only allow 7 runners in the Varsity races due to size. Thank you and see you at Lehigh Senior High School.
