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 course maps below.
This will be a USATF sanctioned event (membership not required to participate).

* If a race exceeds 100 participants, we will look at splitting genders which could impact race start times slightly. Final race times will be updated before race day.
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/4K- The 2k follows the perimeter of the East Platform of the soccer park. The 4k follows the same map for the 2nd loop. These courses do 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.
*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.
Awards:
-Community/Coaches Race: The top 5 male/female runners will receive their award as they cross the line.
-Youth races: The top 10 athletes of each age/gender division will earn an award.
*Awards will be given at the awards podium immediately following the conclusion of their race.
