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
DATE AND LOCATION
Tuesday, September 24. Adams County Fairgrounds. 9755 Henderson Road, Brighton 80602, near US 85 and 124th. Easily accessible from I-76, E-470, and I-25. This won't be the usual Fairgrounds mamby-pamby course... there WILL be trails, mud, and water jumps! Athletes get to run through an actual World War II memorial, a replica of the USS Colorado! This course is well-marked, and the meet is well-organized, and tons of FUN!

COURSE
The 5K high school course and two-mile middle school course will include multiple jaunts through the South Platte River, dirt trails and roads, grass fields, and much more. We hate pavement in cross country courses, so there is only a little involved here!

Please confirm payment with your financial office early! Fees are $50 higher after race day up to Oct. 31, and increase another $50 each on the last day of each subsequent month. We hate to say it, but after the issues we had collecting from some schools last year, schools that cannot pay within a reasonable amount of time will not be invited back without prepayment.
