The USA Cross Country Championships & World Cross Country Team Trials
is this Saturday, in Boulder. Most of the top US runners will be there.
Many of us are going to watch the races. I encourage you to join us.
We'll meet before the Open Women's race, at about 12:15. That race
starts at 12:30. We'll meet by the table (I don't think they'll have a
tent) for the US Trail Championship race (June 30, Steamboat),
Steamboat Running Series, and/or AATRA (All American Trail Running
Association). It'll all be at the same table; I'm not sure which of
these banners they'll have. If I'm not there, and you're not sure if
you're at the right place, ask for John Chapman (original DTR, now in
Steamboat), late 40s, dark hair, 5'10"-ish, and/or Nancy Hobbs (Exec
Dir of AATRA), very short, 40-ish.
After the races, we may do a group run in Boulder. Bring your running gear;
it'll probably be a dirt road run, not trails. We'll see what the interest is.
If we don't run, or maybe in addition to, we may go eat together in Boulder.
Meet back at the same table after the Open Men's race, that'll be about 2pm. If
the group doesn't decide to run together, or you want to run separately, I can
direct you to some good locations in Boulder.
There are six races at the event begin at 9am with the Master Women's
8k race, and finishing with the Open Men's 12k race at 1:15pm. The
course is a spectator friendly 2k loop.
