The Rome Cross-Country team will be hosting the 28th Annual Ridge Ferry
Invitational on Saturday, August 24th.
The scenic course, which winds through Ridge Ferry Park, will boast seven races, beginning every 30 minutes. The races will be professionally chip timed and scored by Ridgeline Events (www.ridgelinetiming.com) and will be sanctioned by GHSA as well as neighboring states if needed.
This race is one of the biggest races in Northwest Georgia, and the Wolves are expecting around 52 schools from 18 counties and around 2,100 runners this year.
Rome City Schools has around 200 kids who participate in their school’s running clubs that will also be competing in the Wolf Cub one-mile race.
