COC Athletics to Present 42nd Annual Cross Country Summer Series

Local runners of all ages will have the opportunity to support the College of the Canyons cross country and track & field programs by participating in the 42nd Annual Cross Country Summer Series on Thursday evenings from July 9 to Aug. 20.

Each week, participants will gather to run a three-mile course that begins at Cougar Field and winds through the college's Valencia campus and surrounding hills, before concluding in Cougar Stadium.

The event is open to runners ages 10 and up, with more than a dozen age divisions available.

Each runner will be charged an entry fee of $10 per race for the first six events and $20 for the final race on Aug. 20, which includes a post-run dinner and awards ceremony. Runners also have the option of purchasing a series card for $50, which covers entrance fees for all seven races and dinner at the final event.

Registration fees can be paid prior to the start of the race. There is no pre-registration.

All checks should be made out to COC ASG with "Summer Cross Country Series" in the memo line.  

Once again, chip timing will be used to track runners with instant results to be provided by Podium One at www.cocathletics.com/sports/xc/summercrossseries.

Awards will be given to the top three men and women in each age division, after the conclusion of the last event on Aug. 20.
