Other Notes

The Cross-Country course consists of 2 equal 1.55 mile loops and is relatively easy to follow. Each loop includes a mile trail through the woods, with the remainder of the loop around the park. The course is mostly dirt and grass but it includes some asphalt.

Note: Guys who cannot break 32 minutes should run the MS race. (Girls should use their best judgment.)

Spartanburg Christian Academy

Cross Country Mission Project 2021

Be a Blessing

At Spartanburg Christian Academy, we like to use our home Cross Country meet as a way to give

back to our surrounding community. Instead of charging admission, we ask you to participate in

our mission project. This year we will continue that tradition by asking teams who attend our

meet to support Hendrix Elementarys Blessing Bags.

Hendrix Elementary - Blessing Bags are given to selected Hendrix students that depend on the

school for their meals. When school is out, these students often dont have anything at home to

eat. By bringing nonperishable items (listed below), you become part of the blessing. We pack

the bags as a team and deliver them to Hendrix for distribution throughout the year.

Please join us in supporting this worthy project. If you choose to donate monetarily, please bring

cash or checks made payable to Spartanburg Christian Academy.

What to bring for Hendrix Blessing Bags:

Individual microwaveable macaroni and cheese bowls or packets

Individual pop-top Chef Boy Ardee, Spaghetti-Os or other hot meals

Individual bags of Goldfish or Cheeze-It crackers

Individual bags of pretzels

Cereal bars

Granola bars

Single-serve boxes of cereal

Apple sauce

Small fruit cups

Juice boxes or non-refrigerated milk boxes

These students are K4 through Fourth Grade, so think simple

preparation (and nut free, if possible) when choosing food items.

Last year SCAs Cross Country team was able to pack approximately 350 blessing bags for

students at Hendrix Elementary! These bags provide a meal option for students who might

otherwise go hungry over the weekends or during school holidays. Over 2,300 food items and

$347 was collected.

This allowed us to provide the following in each gallon-sized bag:

* a hot meal (either Chef Boy Ardee, mac & cheese, noodles, etc),


* a cereal or breakfast item,


* a juice box,


* cheese crackers,


* granola bars


* other snack items.
