Meet Information

2016 WNC Cross Country Carnival

Welcome to the 16th edition of the early-season classic! Our climate is traditionally cooler than the lowlands. Our course is challenging but fair (and slightly shorter than 5k). Our goal is to to provide teams with a positive introduction to the season.

Teams are entered in the event and assigned races by email invitation only. We plan on capping the field at 40 schools. Registration closes on Saturday, August 20th at 11:59 pm.

The meet is sanctioned for NC, SC, and TN.

Championship Boys (limit of 8 runners)- 8:30
Championship Girls (limit of 8 runners)- 9:00
Invitational Boys (limit of 7 runners)- 9:30
Invitational Girls (limit of 7 runners)- 10:00
Individual Boys (limit of 10 runners)- 10:40
Individual Girls (limit of 10 runners)- 11:20
3k Boys- 12:00
3k Girls- 12:20

A school may participate in multiple events (for example, top 8 boys in the Championship, 7 boys in the Invite, 10 boys in the Individual Race, and others in the 3K race).

Please note that the 3k is not a middle school race; it is intended for high school athletes who are not quite ready for the rigor of a full 5k due to inexperience, fitness level, etc. We certainly respect a coach's desire to challenge young athletes, but we also encourage a progressive approach to the season. We appreciate your effort to assign athletes to a race appropriate for their current ability.

The entry fee is $100 and covers all participants from a given school ($50 if only a boys team or girls team; $20.00 for an individual). Athletes must represent their school. Make checks payable to TC Roberson Rams Club & mail to:
