Meet Information
Your team is invited to participate in the annual Canon City Cross Country Invitational. The meet will be held on Thursday, September 26, 2019 and will take place at the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park. The park is located approximately eight miles west of town off Highway 50. The race will run through a portion of the park and finish across the bridge. Through agreement with the Royal Gorge, spectators will be given a discounted price into the Bridge after 3:30 p.m. If they choose not to go inside to the finish of the race, they can watch from outside the fence. At the conclusion of the race, spectators who have paid will have time to walk around the park. This will also allow individuals who haven't seen the Royal Gorge to experience something amazing! There will not be time for rides, etc. that day but hopefully athletes and spectators can get a taste of what the Royal Gorge Park has to offer and come back to enjoy a day next summer!
The schedule of races will be as follows:
4:00 p.m. Boys Varsity and JV (unlimited)
4:30 p.m Girls Varsity and JV (unlimited)
Team scoring will be based on the first five runners placing for each school. Awards will be distributed to the top 10 individuals in each race and the top two boys and girls teams.
The entry fee for this event is $150 for both teams or $75 for one team (boys or girls). We will take the first 20 teams, and registration is password protected. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Marcy Epperson at 719.276.8879, marcy.epperson@canoncityschools.org or Scott Manchester at 719.276.5878, scott.manchester@canoncityschools.org.
We look forward to seeing your teams!
