CV Classic

The 4th Annual CV Classic was another huge success thanks to the wonderful team of volunteers and community support we had again this year.



The weather was perfect and the race was competitive in every age group! We had close to 500 registered runners with 35 family sponsors along with our awesome community sponsors. 

A special thank you to Dentistry for Children and Family Orthodontics for taking on our title sponsorship this year...we really appreciate your support.



Congratulations to Max Marion and Nina Johns,
both 8th grade students,
who were the overall top runners for the race. 

 We look forward to next year's race and hope you can join us again.
