The race seeks to give local runners,
especially road racers, perhaps their single cross country

8k. Also, the Franklin Park 5k has been slotted within
the schedule of events to allow its participants to
watch the championship competitions. Team scoring -
as in the other races - will be featured in the Franklin
Park 5k.
