This is one of the largest XC meets in the region with 41 teams entered in the D1 boys race. Spectators should expect traffic and parking to be a challenge.

-Milk is one of the most requested and least received items at food banks. With eight grams of protein per serving and essential nutrients such as calcium and potassium, milk is a nutritious staple that should be in every fridge.
Your gallon donation at Busch's in Brighton will not only provide milk to those who need it most, but also get Brighton XC one gallon closer to receiving a Chocolate Milk Drive Grant for their season! Stop in before October 10th to make a difference in your community. #BuschsMilkDrive #MilkMeansMore
