Meet Information
47th Annual Fort Plain Cross Country Invitational will be held this year on SATURDAY, October 18th 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 a fair but challenging test for 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 courses stretching out to 3.0 miles.
CHANGE: Due to a smaller number of schools entered this year, there will be 1 Boys Varsity Race and 1 Girls Varsity Race. Each school will be limited to 10 entries per Varsity race.
Order of Events:
- 9:15 Modified Girls (1.7 Miles) Unlimited Entries
- 9:45 Modified Boys (1.7 Miles) Unlimited Entries
- 10:15 Varsity Boys (3.0 Miles) Limited to 10 Entries
- 10:45 Varsity Girls (3.0 Miles) Limited to 10 Entries
- 11:15 Open Races (1.7 Miles) Boys and Girls Races together - 2 Finish Line Chutes Unlimited Entries
An unlimited number of entries will be allowed for the Modified and Open Races. Medals will be awarded to the top 25 finishers in the Varsity and Modified races. The top 10 finishers in the Open Race will be awarded medals.
The Modified Boys and Girls races, as well as the new Open Division Race 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.
