Fort Plain, NY
Hosted by Fort Plain

Meet Information

45th Annual Fort Plain Cross Country Invitational will be held this year on September 16th at the Fort Plain Sports Complex on the campus of Harry Hoag Elementary School overlooking the scenic Mohawk Valley. The course is typically fast featuring rolling terrain, mostly on grass and offers an early season test for the all levels of scholastic runners. The courses traverse nearly the same terrain, with the Modified course tallying out to nearly 1.7 miles and the Varsity and Junior Varsity courses stretching out to 3.0 miles.

There will be 2 divisions of both Boys and Girls Varsity races based on the size of the school. Class A, AA and B will be in the large school division and Classes B, C and D will be in the small school race.  A single Junior Varsity Girls race and a single Junior Varsity Boys race will also be run over the same 3.0 mile course. The Junior High Boys and Junior High Girls races, will be held on the shorter 1.7 mile course that offers quite a challenge to the younger harriers. 

The course is very spectator friendly with the opportunity to view a majority of the races from one vantage point. If one is feeling adventurous, the whole course can be seen by travelling just a short distance between spots, while seeing the green rolling hills and dales of the Mohawk Valley.
