The program culminates in a big distance race. The program has touched the lives of thousands of children and partnered with premier events including:

  • LA Marathon
  • Rock'n'Roll Las Vegas 1/2 Marathon
  • Aukland Marathon, New Zealand
  • Canberra Marathon, Australia
  • Litchfield Field Road Race, CT

The team asked us to clean up the code and get some updates onto the site. 

Instead we presented them with a Drupal-driven, community-based site that requires no coding knowledge to update and configure. The site is now ripe for the journalism and photography students on the team to maintain without the HTML/CSS barrier. Along with the site itself, we contributed several custom modules, and a clean, efficient theme.

The site can be viewed at wso.williams.edu/orgs/xc
