Green Mountain Athletic Association
Scholarship 5K Cross Country Run
(and USATF cross country team race!)

COURSE: 5K  entirely on dirt trails through the wooded Red Rocks Park.  The course is gently rolling with a couple overlooks of Lake Champlain. Examining at the map below - runners race the left loop, then the right loop and then do the left loop again before heading back to the finish. Excellent footing.
TEAMS: USATF team scoring: team members each get a score correspinding to their finish place. Scores are added up to get a team score. Women  open, men open, master, and senior require 5 runners for a team score and all other divisions require 3 runners for a team score. Runners must have a current USATF membership and be part of a USATF team to score. USATF will have an officer on site to aid with registration. Runners can also sign up for USATF membership with a credit card online.
