About the Season

The Cross Country league will run during the Fall season, starting in mid to late September and concluding in mid to the end of November or early December. It will include a 7 race regular season series plus a Championship meet at the end.

A detailed schedule will be released prior to the start of the season.

Divisions: Races will be divided into three sections based on age and grade level:
- Little Stars: 2nd-5th grades (7-10 years old) - Race Distance: 1.5k
- Rising Stars: 6th-8th grades (11-14 years old) - Race Distance: 3k
- All Stars: 9th grade and up (15-99 years old) - Race Distance: 5k
League Size: Each age group and gender division will be limited to a 20-team league.
Team Composition:
- Each team must consist of a minimum of 5 members for each participating age group.
- There is no maximum number of members on a team roster for each age group and gender.
- Teams are expected to be committed to competing weekly at the scheduled league events.
Individual Participation: Individuals may compete in each age group who are not formally affiliated with a registered team within the league. These individuals will be scored in the overall race but will not contribute to team scores.
Scoring: Races will be scored using the traditional cross country scoring method: the finishing places of the top five runners from each team are summed to determine the team score. The team with the lowest score wins.
