Whether you run for a team, as an individual, or you just want to try out the experience of running a cross country race, you are welcome to join us for the Elevated XC Showdown! Boys/Girls will run in combined races, and will be separated by age groups below. All courses utilize the same start/finish area. Courses are flat and VERY spectator friendly. See below for details and course maps.

Aurora Sports Park: 19300 E Colfax Ave., Aurora CO 80011
9:00am- Open 3k; open to community/coaches
9:30am-13/14 Boys/Girls 4k

10:30am-9/10 Boys/Girls 3k
11:00am- 8&U Boys/Girls 2k
All courses are flat and have smooth sweeping turns. They all have potential to be very fast in dry conditions and VERY spectator friendly!
2k- The 2k follows the perimeter of the East Platform of the soccer park. This course does NOT use the creek crossing.
3k- The 3k course branches off of the 2k course and adds on by passing through a creek crossing (could be dry, could have 12" deep water) before making a loop around the north picnic area before meeting back up with the 2k course to the finish.
4K- The 4k course uses the same layout as the 3k, but adds on a 1k loop to after after the creek crossing for the 3k. This course is spike friendly.
*See Maps below for visuals
** In the instance of snow/heavy rain, we will not be allowed on the soccer platform and we will have to use our backup courses. We will make those maps available the week of the race if needed, but all distances would include the creek crossing.
