NHS Blue Devils Run 2020 Set for February
The 10th Annual Norcross Blue Devils Run will be held Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020 at Pinckneyville Middle School. For its 10th anniversary, organizers are planning to make the 2020 Blue Devils Run the biggest race yet.
Last year, more than 250 participants registered and raised over $5,000 for the running programs at Norcross High School. Many local businesses supported the Blue Devils Run by becoming race sponsors. The 2019 sponsor list includes: Big Peach Running Company; Blum & Campbell LLC; O’Leary Design Group LLC; Norcross Sports Training Academy; Bardi Heating, Cooling & Plumbing; Robert D. Fowler YMCA; Starbuck’s Coffee at PIB & S. Old Peachtree; Active Care Atlanta; and Profile by Sanford.
Norcross High School is a Title 1 school and hasn’t always had the funding available to support the cross country and track & field runners who wish to take part in the sport The Blue Devils Run was created in 2010 because the race creator, Amelia Watson, believed that any student interested in participating in the sport should be able to join the team regardless of financial status. Since 2010, proceeds from the Blue Devils Run have been used to purchase uniforms and equipment for both running programs, cover transportation costs and subsidize participation fees.
The race is a Peachtree Road Race qualifier.
