The 42nd Annual Woodbridge H. S. Cross Country Classic presented by ASICS is scheduled for September 15 and 16, 2023. This Nationally acclaimed high school running event has achieved the honor of being the largest and best Cross Country event in the USA since 2017.  The event brings together over 400 high schools from across the Country (23 different States have send runners to our meet), has over 15,000 runners register to compete in the 52 3.0-miles races and draws over 15,000 spectators. The 2023 Classic promises to be the largest and just as successful.  The event benefits the running teams at Woodbridge and Northwood high schools.  Specific information and digital images (videos and still photos) of the event can be found on www.gvarvas.com.

As one of the prominent leaders in the products and services in our community, we would like to invite you to join us in our efforts to provide positive outlets and experiences for so many future consuming young adults. Our event will provide your promotional/marketing department with a tremendous opportunity to expand the marketing strategy while enhancing your presence in our local community and Southern California.  Our 15,000 participants (18 years of age or younger) and 15,000 + spectators (mostly family members) comprise a most attractive group of future consumers that  you can recruit or at least become “visible” to and leave a lasting impression with.  After all, these young adults and their parents will be deciding on their providers of goods and services in the immediate and long-term future.
