About Our Campaign
As a means to continue to achieve success during our four years at JMU, we strive to raise annual funds for a pre-season training and team-building trip; training access to regional parks; and enhanced training equipment for all weather and course conditions.
The ability to take a pre-season trip would grant us the opportunity to train together for a week before our season. The trip would allow us to build and enhance team chemistry, bonding, training and competition performances, and ultimately success.
Your support will also be vital for our annual access to local running trails, including Massanutten and Shenandoah National Park. These trails are essential for our preparation to compete for our season by increasing strength and power as we develop more stable muscles and joints!
How Your Support Will IMPACT the JMU Cross Country Student-Athlete Experience
Your gift, of any amount, will help provide our team with both on and off-course opportunities — including travel, training, and team bonding — to benefit our student-athlete experience.
About JMU Cross Country
JMU Cross Country student-athletes participate in three seasons of running — Cross Country, Indoor Track, and Outdoor Track.
The team spends the summer months, May through August, training independently in preparation for the cross-country season in the fall.
