Meet Information

Online Registration Instructions

Coaches: Please be advised that we will potentially be changing the Mountain Invite schedule for the 2024 season. In order to continue to accommodate such large crowds and provide the best racing possible, we are looking at moving the Middle School races to Tuesday, October 1st. The High School invitational will still be Thursday,  October 3rd. This will allow us to run a Combined Open JV race, Girls and Boys JV races (10 runners) and Girls and Boys Varsity races (7 runners) on Thursday. We will update MileSplit and send an email with the final schedule of events once we have everything finalized. For the time being, we have included last year's information below. 

Mountain Invite 2024 will be held on THURSDAY, October 3, 2024, with a rain date of Tuesday, October 8th. Registering for this meet commits you to both dates. No refunds will be issued.
