2007 Resultshttp://www.ridgerider.org/RRAC/Running%20Series/Race%20Results/2007%20Results.htm Click here for the Running Times Article on the 2005 Race! The Cross County Ramblers (RRCA and USATF) Running and Walking Club, invite you to join us for a celebration of long-distance racing. We take pride in our rural Arkansas home, and are pleased to host the best-organized, racer-friendly marathon anywhere.
The people of Cross County offer runners and walkers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of Corporate America. Rediscover what you love about running, and enjoy a slice of rural America country living at the same time. Friday, we have a variety of unique non-racing events throughout Cross County. Local civic and hobby clubs are offering to share with you some of their passionate interests. Wynne Saddle club will offer trail rides, Memphis Soaring Society will offer glider rides and we have a wonderful state park, Village Creek State Park. Click here for more information. The Italian Dinner is hosted by the Cross County Historical Society and will offer lots of home made pasta, veggie and meat sauces, salad, garlic bread, and desserts. You will pick up your race packet, ask questions, eat, and enjoy the company of your fellow racers.
Saturday morning, you’ll show up at Wynne High School, take care of business (we have a very high port-o-potty to racer ratio!), enjoy the national anthem sung by the Mt. Olive Baptist Church Choir, and get ready for the starting gun.
There will be a variety of things for your family and support crew to do after you take off on your race. The First United Methodist Church Youth Group is having a pancake breakfast next door, various groups will be selling arts and crafts, we will have some entertainment for the little ones, and the Wynne high video journalism class will be interviewing anyone they can. After the race, showers and dressing rooms are available at Wynne High School. The Friends of the Cross County Library will be serving the best bar-b-que you’ve ever tasted, as well as Mazzio’s pizza, home made desserts, sodas, water, fruit, slaw, and baked beans. Massages will be available. The Half-Marathon Awards will take place at fifteen minutes past Noon. The Marathon Awards will take place at fifteen minutes past two o’clock. Join us and over 500 of your closest friends. Be a part of the 2008 Mid-South Championship Marathon!
