Get ready for the North Shore Striders Cross Country Challenge! On Saturday October 6th, 2012 the Cross Country Challenge will go down at Enger Park Golf Course on the same course as the famous Swain Invitational. Over 2,500 high school students compete each year in the “hillacious” Swain cross country meet. Now is your chance to run the Swain course in the Cross Country Challenge!
Course Description: 5K cross country run on the same course as the famous Swain Invitational cross country meet. The course runs along the Enger Park golf course. This is a very hilly and tough 5K. Our event will be muddy and eaten up by all the student athletes that run our course throughout the day. The race is designed for adults; however, all ages are welcome! Pull out your spikes if you have them.
Location: Enger Park Golf Course (1801 West Skyline Boulevard, Duluth, MN 55806) Starting area is to the west of the club house.
Cost: $25.00 (All athletes receive chip timing and a cotton t-shirt). North Shore Striders members will receive an email with a $5 discount code.
Start Time: The North Shore Striders Cross Country Challenge will start at 3:40pm.
Registration Information: Registration is only available online through Eventbrite. Annual members of the North Shore Striders will receive a discount code for the Cross Country Challenge. Register to become an annual member and save $5. Annual membership fees for the NSS are $20 for individuals and $30 for families.
Course Map: Coming soon
Packet Pickup: Packet pickup and late registration will be held on race day near the start of the course and will go from 1pm to 3pm. All athletes will receive a t-shirt and chip for timing.
Parking: Parking is available along Skyline Parkway. It will be very hard to find a spot near the entry into the Enger Park golf course. We highly recommend giving yourself an extra half an hour or more to get to the starting area. Carpooling is recommended.
