About the Paul Ruston Memorial Run
The race is held at a high school and benefits a foundation that supports youth cross country programs in memory of a coach. The course is not described in detail, but the setting is a school campus, which typically means paved paths or grass fields nearby. Prize money goes to the top finishers overall.
Bibs are available at check-in on race morning, so there is no separate packet pickup to plan around. Awards follow shortly after the field finishes, keeping the post-race gathering tight and on campus.
