Newsflash

Several changes to key elements of the Orange Crush, including the forced change of venue and withdrawal of the college element of the festival, forced the race committee to reevaluate the dynamics of the event.  Ultimately, the decision was made to cancel the Orange Crush this year rather than stage a lesser version.  It is premature at this point for us to speculate on the prospects of a 2009 event.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this.  Those who already registered for the race at SignMeUp.com will have their fees reimbursed.
 
Orange Crush X

Welcome to the official website of the Orange Crush Cross-Country Festival.  Orange Crush is brought to you by Conway Running Club and Hendrix College.  Orange Crush has grown each year since its inception 9 years ago.  In this time the Orange Crush Racing Festival has more than tripled in numbers.  We hope to continue to make the event more and more successful and runner-friendly each year.  Orange Crush is a unique event that includes college and open runners running head-to-head.  Jimi The junior high, senior high and college division participants all receive t-shirts.  In addition a generous number of top runners will receive nice awards.  Also a plethora of food and drink are provided free of charge.  These amenities make this a "must do" meet in the eyes of the school runners.

On September 20, 2008 our 10th annual event will be held at Lake Beaverfork.  Beautiful Lake Beaverfork is conveniently located on scenic highway 25 North less than a mile from the new I-40 interchange in Conway, Arkansas.  Located on 1,200 acres, Beaverfork Lake has areas for swimming, boating, fishing, sand volleyball and children. Please see map for details.
