This is a very exciting race with a lot of participants. The atmosphere is excellent with the BYU cross country team on site to cheer on runners. In past years Cosmo the BYU Mascot has been there too. I encourage all that can to participate. Also, please share with others in your area that might be able to run. I would like to see one of our local schools to take home the team trophy.
