Cross Country

Our Campaign

JMU Cross Country is dedicated to building champions through teamwork, discipline, and commitment, both on and off the course. To continue achieving success throughout our student-athletes’ four years at JMU, we aim to raise annual funds that directly enhance the program through a pre-season training and team-building trip, access to premier regional training parks, and upgraded equipment for all weather and course conditions.

A pre-season trip allows our team to train together before the season begins, strengthening chemistry, performance, and competition readiness. Your support also helps secure access to local running trails, including Massanutten and Shenandoah National Park, which are vital training grounds that develop our runners’ endurance, strength, and stability.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes an impact by providing our student-athletes with valuable opportunities for travel, training, and team bonding, all of which elevate the JMU Cross Country experience and fuel success for seasons to come.

About Funds Raised During Diggin'Dukes

One hundred percent (100%) of funds raised in support of JMU Cross Country during the Diggin’Dukes campaign immediately go to the JMU Cross Country Sport Program Fund (restricted-use fund) and benefit the JMU Cross Country student-athlete experience.

Sport program funds are restricted-use funds that can only be utilized by the individual sport program. 100% of gifts made to sport program funds go to the selected sport program and are 100% tax deductible.

Funds will go to support team operational needs and are allocated at the discretion of our coaches and administration.
