Runners Roost Invitational 2018

Brighton, CO

Meet Information

One of the largest, and we guarantee, the wettest, cross country meets in Colorado, has been moved to the Adams County Fairgrounds, 9755 Henderson Road, Brighton - easily accessible from US 85, I-76, I-25 or E-470.

This perennial favorite since 1993 has been created to provide a fun meet in which schools like yours and ours can

compete for awards and recognition on a varied and interesting course that includes the

usual array of water crossings, dirt, weeds, more water crossings, and ravenous sharks, whales,

lobsters, piranhas, and gators. Our emphasis is to give back to the runners, so we will have

team plaques, shirts for the top finishers, and lots of ribbons, including ribbons for ALL middle

school finishers, and food! Once again, we will have a coaches/citizens race (free for

coaches), so get yourself in shape and challenge the lake and its infamous inflatable critters!

COURSE

The 5K high school course and 3K middle school courses start and finish on the west side of

Chatfield Reservoir, and will include water crossings, dirt trails, native grass fields, and much
