NDA XC Alumnae Race

The NDA XC Alumnae Race is the fifth annual cross country alumnae event held on July 26, 2026, on the Notre Dame Academy (NDA) campus at 3535 W Sylvania Ave., Toledo, Ohio. The event centers on a single running competition for alumnae and affiliates.

The race distance is 2 mile and is run on a looped course that is almost entirely on grass. The course layout is intended for repeated laps rather than a point-to-point route.

Organizers created the event to bring together past, current and future NDA cross country runners along with families and friends. The stated goal is a large alumnae team reunion that can include siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other community members.

Registration opens on April 29, 2026 and closes on July 26, 2026. A registration fee of $15.00 applies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
