It has arrived!

The post-season officially launches off the starting line this weekend.

Quite a few teams and individuals have their sights set on booking their tickets to Portland for the Team Cross Country Nationals December 3. So they'll be headed south to Arizona this weekend to vie for a qualifier.

Likewise, there's Champs National Championships December 10 (Formally Eastbay. Formally Footlocker. You get the idea.) The regional qualifier is just after that Thanksgiving turkey next week.

There's even a more tropical option for competition in the coming weeks - the Bermuda XC Challenge is set for December 3 (along with every other national meet this year), and word on the course is that Colorado well be well-represented there!

And of course, there's that real burner of a meet down in Alabama at the Garmin RunningLane Championships - AKA PR Central - on December 3. 

In other words, there's plenty of options for competition - even in Colorado. 

For those looking for a PR at RunningLane, there's an in-state, road-option to sharpen up this weekend at the Pumpkin Pie 5K - CO USATF 5K Championships.
