SIGN UP FOR THE HOUND DOG HALF

You still have time to sign up for the Hound Dog Half.  The weather was awful for the Hound Dog on January 19  so it was rescheduled for June.  The race course will be all dressed out in early summer green and a beautiful place to spend a Saturday morning running. Registration will be reopened soon.

The inaugural race was in 2016 and was "interrupted" by this young lady.

Race Renamed Hound Dog Half 

Our small town, small school cross country and track programs have benefited greatly from the race. We have been able to purchase hurdles and other equipment with some of the proceeds. We were able to attend the state track meet in Gulf Shores (after many on the team qualified) with no cost to the athletes competing, for travel, and lodging. We were able to purchase both girls and boys uniforms for the season with no cost to athletes and parents. 

We were also able to offer a reduced cost for our runners to attend Cross Country camps and reserve an extra cabin for food and cooking this year. We also have an indoor track team. Cross Country and track are different than most sports in that each competition entered costs upwards of $250. 

The benefit I am proudest of is that for the first time in my coaching career, I had to ask for $0 in fees from the kids and the parents. NO kid or parent should have to pay to participate in something they love to perform while representing their school. This year (while not stress free) was spent by me coaching....not worrying where the next payment would come from. It is all for the kids!
