About the Hudson Cross Country Booster 5k
The course runs on the high school's own cross country layout, behind the building on the north side of Hudson. That means real cross country terrain: grass, natural ground, and the kind of uneven footing you do not get on a road race. Age group awards go several places deep, so runners across a wide spread of ages have something to compete for.
Race-day registration and packet pickup both happen on site before the start, so there is no need to make a separate trip. Proceeds support the school's cross country and track programs, which gives the morning a clear local purpose beyond the race itself.
