One of the ONLY 5 MILE races in central Ohio. It starts and finishes at the Thomas Worthington High School Track.

The Gary Smith All-Comers XC Meet was formed for and by people that love, support, admire, and thank the late Gary Smith for his devoted and dedicated years as coach and teacher for the Worthington School district. The race goes east on Dublin-Granville Rd., north on Evening St., winds through Worthington Estates (passes Gary's former house), up to Wilson Bridge Rd., and home down through the Olentangy River Bike Path, back to the track.

Hello faithful members of the Gary Smith Race & Charities community. Last December, one of you generously made a donation to us through your work via the Benevity Company. To date we have not received the funds and Benevity will not disclose the name of the donor - you. We would very much like to know who you are so we can thank you. We appreciate you very much !
Not so much the Benevity Company. Future donors to any cause beware of Benevity.
Run as hard as you can and let your heart take you the rest of the way.
Best WIshes, Niki
