The Inaugural SIUE Harvest Run 5k will take place November 8, 2009 at 9:30am on the campus of SIUE in Edwardsville, IL.

The race is organized by Interim Head Cross-Country Coach Eileen McAllister and Assistant Coach and former student-athlete Kyle Cameron. The wooded-area and grassy fields of the cross-country course are located near the intersection of New Poag Rd. and North University Drive, approximately a 30 minute drive from St. Louis. Runners and walkers will have to navigate the 3.1 mile course over some rolling hills that follow the tree line trail. Course route and mile markers will be indicated on race day and mile-splits will be announced.
