Pottsville Cross Country and Track Alumni and Friends Run

The Pottsville Cross Country and Track Alumni and Friends Run is scheduled for November 22, 2025 in Pottsville, PA. The event is a fundraiser for the Pottsville High School boys and girls cross country program. Location is Pottsville High School Stadium Track, 1600 Elk Avenue, Pottsville, PA 17901. Online registration is available and closes November 9; race day registration will be held at the high school track. There is no entry fee; participants are asked to make a donation.

Course, format and facilities

The event uses the Pottsville High School cross country course, listed as 5k, with the start and finish on the stadium track; organizers reserve the right to alter the course if necessary. The event will be timed for participants. Finish order will be recorded using a hand-held stick system; registrants’ name, graduation year, and place will be recorded when the stick is returned. Alumni team scoring will be by decade using a long-short cross country format: the top three finishers from each decade score, with the 4th and 5th runners displacing; men and women score separately and then are combined for a final decade score. No athletic trainers or showers will be available. Water will be provided at start and finish only. Parking is available on middle school property and on nearby streets. An informal post-race gathering off school property is planned. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
