Uniforms: Team uniforms are alright, but a tradition of this race is that each school wears tye-dye shirts as their uniforms. The runners make their shirts and can design them using their school colors. The history of this, comes from a former local runner (Howie Powder) who supported XC Running in the valley, that was killed in a motorcycle accident, and he was known for wearing tye-dye shirts, riding (and racing) a unicycle and always having fun and giving back to the community.
