The Knoxville and Pella Cross Country teams will be working together for a fundraiser during the balloon festival at Lake Red Rock on Saturday. Both teams are holding a 5k or 10k race that will take place while balloons are being launched around the lake. Knoxville Coach Mike Moats explains that decided to work together to draw a bigger crowd, tapping the resources of both communities. Pella Coach Doug Cutler says the competitive nature of the two teams relationships is a good thing, it pushes them to get better. The races will be a fundraiser for both school’s cross country programs.
