From the organizers
Welcome to the Third GrassRoots Runnings Series. Hosted by CHS Cross Country Parent Association and the Hybrid Runner Foundation, this series is a community focused racing opportunity designed to promote running, build the local running community, and provide athletes with a chance to compete during the summer.
Races will be held on a grass cross country course at Smith Intermediate, offering a fast layout with moderate elevation changes. This provides a great introduction to cross country racing for younger athletes while still being competitive for experienced runners.
The event includes multiple divisions:
Elementary (1 mile)
Middle School
High School
Masters (community runners)
