cross country runners

Ready, set....GO!

Registration for elementary cross country is open! Each year, nearly 4,000 kids from kindergarten to fifth grade put on their running shoes and experience the joy of cross country racing, thanks to our valuable partnership with Active4Youth.

Practices begin the week of Sept. 8 and specific dates will vary from school to school. Families can register their runners through Sept. 20. Contact your school for more information.

Each runner will compete in two races against students from schools in their high school feeder patterns. Don't know your feeder pattern? Check our Elementary Schools web page.

The season finishes on Oct. 21 with the All-City Meet for qualifying runners.
