About the Series
Founded in 1968 by Don Wahle and Barry Binkley, the Summer Cross Country Series was a way to get the high school and college runners ready for the Fall Cross Country Season. It was held during the last 6 weeks of Summer. In 1987, Stacy Osborne took over as race director of the series with support from the Clifton Track Club now known as the Runners' Club of Greater Cincinnati. In 2001, the series moved from its original location in French Park to the Princeton Community Middle School in Sharonville and Stacy increased the number of runs in the series. As a result attendance rose and high school and college runners still use it to get ready for the Fall Cross Country Season.
