ABOUT CAMRON STOTTS:

Camron Stotts Open 5K is a race that honors the life & legacy of Camron Stotts, who tirelessly and selflessly served others by carrying on his torch and supporting causes he was passionate about. Camron was slated to be Midland Classical Academy's Head Coach for the cross-country team in 2018. Unfortunately, he lost his life in an accident while cycling that spring.  

Camron was an avid cyclist, runner, and fitness enthusiast who enjoyed outdoor activities. He believed that enjoying God's natural world provided a path to better communion with Him; and in turn, lead to a more fulfilling life overall. Camron was the embodiment of a healthy diet and lifestyle and he encouraged others to embrace positive change in their lives through an active lifestyle. 

It was Camron's idea to host an open division for the community during the Tall City Invitational cross country meet. Hence, we continue to host this race in his honor. 

The Camron Stotts Open 5K will be held the same day as the 13th Annual Tall City Invitational (TCI). Tall City Invitational is a cross country meet for junior high and high school teams hosted by Midland Classical Academy. Tall City Invitational aims to increase the participation of young athletes in the sport within Midland and surrounding cities by hosting a meet in our own backyard, enabling family and friends to cheer on these athletes as they showcase their skills and abilities.
