The local high school has a run/race each year where alumni and the current team run/race and I am bit jealous.
It seems like a fun opportunity to see old teammates and run the old home cross country course.
If my old high school had one I would have some fun training for it over the summer to see what my old slow legs could run - not that were ever very fast.
No.
Yes! 3 day camp during july, where alumni can come in and run with the current team.Also have relay races.

One of the kids on my xc team died and they set up a memorial 5k road race every year open to the community. The current HS team is always there plus a lot of alums. I won the race one year and it felt like an awesome way to honor him. It's great fun, but it sucks that it took someone to die to spark the tradition they should've done all along.
In the summer a fundraiser 5k.
Alumni are welcome to run the 2 mile cross country time trial but it is tradition to step off the course before the homestretch to let a high school kid win. Alums are welcome to finish in any place not 1st.
Also have a community run at the home cross country invite.
Yep we have an annual alumni 5k race in August before school starts. The alumni and high schoolers race eachother. We score each team (top 5 alumni v. top 5 high school). The high schoolers always win the team competition and the individual winner of the race is usually an alumni.
