Site: Washington Park Denver, Colorado

Course: Varsity – 5000 meters:   Open – 3500 meters:   

Links to course maps are below

• 5000m Varsity Course – Begin with a loop of the grass field, then the south Grasmere (crushed gravel) lake loop to the finish. Water crossing at ~2.5k and ~4k.
• 3500m JV & Middle School Course – Same as the varsity minus the first loop of the grass field. Water crossing at ~1.5k and ~2.5k.

Be on time for the bus. We will leave at 7:45am sharp. You must have preapproval from Coach Kohuth if you plan not to take the bus to and from the meet. We expect all athletes to stay through all races and the awards ceremonies to encourage and celebrate your teammates.

This is a new course and the 5000m course will likely be identical to the course we run at our League Championship.

This course has two water crossings. The water crossings are wide enough and deep enough that there is a 100% chance your shoes will become completely submerged. Most good running shoes will not absorb much water. You will need to be selective about what socks you wear. Thick cotton socks will absorb and hold on to water, leaving you with heavy, wet feet for the rest of the race. Wear the thinnest tech/nylon socks you own. If your feet are substantially calloused, you might even consider not wearing socks. Finally, water crossings are known to steal shoes; tightly tie your shoes!

Bring water and snacks for after your race. Bring a change of clothes. And bring more cowbell! Great things are about to happen.
