The Godiva Cross Country Series returns through the month of September, but like much else, it will be different this year. Like summer track, the XC series will be a do it yourself affair, with a system to report your results online.
We will still offer the alternating venues between Finley XC Trail @ Chapel Hill and Al Buehler Trail @ Durham, but you'll also be able to choose a 5, 8, or 10k of your own if those locations don't work for you. So if you want to map out a cross country worthy route at Umstead State Park, or along some other trail, go for it.
Results: Week 1 (8/31), Week 2 (9/7), Week 3 (9/14), Week 4 (9/21), Week 5 (9/28)
Plans are underway for Godiva's annual Winter Series, which will kick off with the Run for the Donuts in October. We'll need to make modifications to some of the usual race formats and schedules to comply with public health rules this season. Watch this space and the October newsletter for details we will release very soon.

The 1001 Mile Challenge is a new Godiva initiative for 2020 to encourage an increased commitment to exercise along with some friendly competition. As a Godiva member, you can enroll in the challenge and keep track of your intentional completed miles, regardless of pace, throughout the calendar year. We'll provide online tracking of monthly and overall progress.
All participants who complete 1001 or more miles by the end of the year will receive an official certificate and a finisher surprise! We will also declare a 1001 Mile Challenge Champion at the end of the year.
