"The Granddaddy of Them All". That's what they call the Mt.SAC invitational to be held the third Saturday in October. It really is just that! It's so large that it's held over two weekends, and the high school portion takes two days, Friday and Saturday.
We'll be racing on Saturday and the event is a true spectacle. If you think that cross country is a back-alley sport for skinny kids and few care about, Mt.SAC will blow your mind and preconceived notions! This sucker is huge.
The races go off every 7 minutes from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. There are three races on the course simultaneously pretty much all day! The field is crowded with tents. Teams come from across the state and nation to race across the storied hills.
The course is 2.9 miles long, but very challenging with three significant hills in the last two miles. It is also the site for the CIF preliminaries and finals, held in November.
You can't miss the Mt.SAC invitational. This historic meet is the larges meet in the country and a feature of the cross country season in Southern California.
