Meet Information
PLEASE COME TO THE30th ANNUAL RUNNERS ROOST INVITATIONAL!
Yes, we have been hosting this meet for 30 years! One of the largest, and we guarantee, the wettest, cross country meets in Colorado, will be held at the Adams County Fairgrounds. 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, awards 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 river and its infamous inflatable critters!
