Steve Thompson Memorial Centipede Race
Date:   Sep 29, 2010
Distances:   5k Centipede
Location:   Boise, ID

Centipede copy

This event has been inspired by the Centennial High School cross-country team to pay tribute to a true “team player”, Steven Thompson. Steven died in a car accident on the way to the school’s Sawtooth Running Camp. He loved the idea of a centipede race and always encouraged others to run faster.

This is a great team event and team building opportunity. Teams work together to complete a 5k running event, while holding onto a rope. This will take a team effort, working together to complete the course; thus winning as a team only when ALL of the team members have crossed the finish line. This event should also provide excellent opportunities for spectators to watch and cheer on their favorite team.

Additional information will be provided when available.
