Meet Information
Online Registration Instructions
Coaches and Athletic Directors:
Franklin Regional High School cross country will be hosting a Middle School invitational on Friday, September 6th at Shields Farm in Delmont PA. We would like to invite your middle school runners in grades 7 and 8 to attend this invitational. There will only be middle school races at this invite, ensuring the MS kids are the star of the show. This will be our second year of the invite, after a very successful meet last year with limited entries. We are now ready to expand and invite more teams to the race this year.
The course will be a flat start with two hills at the midpoint of the race, then back to a flat finish. All races will be 3K (1.86 miles) and will be well-marked with cones and white paint. It will be a course with little to no repetition and will be extremely spectator-friendly. Concessions and t-shirts will be available for purchase as well. Last years results can be viewed here. GingerbreadMan Running Co. will be providing timing for the event and live results will be available as the races complete.
