Meet Information
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 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 ribbons, including an award 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!
PLEASE SEE ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS BELOW

Tuesday, September 26. Adams County Fairgrounds. 9755 Henderson Road, Brighton 80602, near US 85 and 124th. Easily accessible from I-76, E-470, and I-25.
