Your donations will have a huge impact for these high school students. Thank you for your consideration.

Our team consists of 100-110 athletes. We fundraise throughout the year for additional uniforms, team equipment and team dinners. Our funding source comes solely from fundraising efforts. Our team would be so grateful for your support in helping to provide a fun, safe and inclusive environment as our athletes develop a lifelong long love for running and living a healthy lifestyle.

Ellensburg Cross Country team philosophy (our three C’s of cross country):

Character- Ellensburg cross-country runners do their best in all areas of their lives. We are honest and dependable. We are confident yet humble and display good sportsmanship. We demonstrate good character even when no one is looking.

Commitment- Ellensburg cross-country runners give their best effort consistently over time. We know that the process of striving for excellence is what gives running meaning. We live a lifestyle conducive to high performance: good nutrition, sleep, avoiding alcohol and drugs.

Community- Ellensburg cross-country runners create a unique team identity where everyone is welcome and no hazing occurs. We do not say “no” when other athletes ask to be included. Ellensburg cross country contributes to the broader Ellensburg community through service.
