If you had a FAMILYID account last year to register for sports, you can scroll to the bottom of this page and click log in. You will search for Denver East and click on our school. Choose Cross Country and then the correct payment amount at the bottom.

If you attend a school that does not offer cross country and you will run for East, please fill out this “Students Without a Program” form.

Practice Times: Practice will move to 4:00pm, Monday – Friday, beginning August 5. There will be an additional, alternative morning practice option on days when the afternoon weather forecast is for very hot or stormy weather in the afternoons. Due to the current forecast, there will be a morning practice option this Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 7:30am (August 5-7). Afternoon and morning practices will meet at City Park on the fields immediately north of the Thatcher Fountain, near the Esplanade entrance. Follow the website for announcements of additional morning practice options depending on the weather forecast.

Challenging Weather Plans:

Heat: Over the next two weeks, when the forecast afternoon temperature is over 90 degrees, we may offer an alternative, additional morning practice time for those who can take advantage of the cooler temperatures. Follow the website for announcements of morning practice options (see above). The regularly scheduled afternoon workout will be modified when the temperature is above 90 degrees.

Lightening: When there is lightening in the area (within 8 miles in the last 30 minutes), athletes will be moved indoors at East High School. Depending upon the timing of the lightening interruption and the storm forecast, practice will be delayed, modified, or cancelled. When practice is cancelled due to lightening, athletes will be given instructions on completing the workout on their own after the storm has passed or on treadmills at Carla Madison Recreation Center or other treadmills available to the athletes.

Air Quality: When the AQI is above 150, workouts will be modified or cancelled.

3 Weeks until the first cross country meet of the season!
