LCS Step Into Spring Fun Run-CANCELLED

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19

Step Into Spring with the Livonia Cross Country Team!

An inaugural, community fun run to benefit the Livonia Central School Cross Country Team.
The Varsity Cross Country team hopes to travel North this fall to compete in the Cadyville invitational near Plattsburgh NY. The team will be hosting the first ever "Step Into Spring" 5k and youth mile/community walk on Sunday, May 3rd, 2020 to help raise money. All proceeds from the 5k will help offset the cost of the trip for the athletes; we hope you can join us!
