Colorado Coyotes Youth Cross Country Invitational

Join us for the fourth annual Colorado Coyotes Cross Country Invitational. This meet is open to all youth runners between the ages of 6-14 years old. The course is a mix of mostly grass and crushed dirt rock with a few sidewalk crossings and a few hills. The Invitational will be professionally chip timed by Colorado Race Timing with custom bibs and custom die cast medal awards for the top ten finishers, boys and girls.

The boys and girls' races will be run together. The runners' age group is determined by their age on December 31, 2020.
