Meet Information
2021 NCRunners Twilight Results
After hosting NCRunners Twilight at the end of the outdoor season a year ago, we're excited to bring back the distance event format to help athletes chase PRs and chase regional/state qualifying marks! The event is open to all athletes of all abilities. Our goal is for the event to range from athletes looking to chase state-leading marks, to JV athletes looking to close the season with a PR against a field full of athletes with similar abilities.
The event will feature the 'Craig Engels Elite 800's and 1600's' to close out the event under the lights.
The meet will be live-streamed on MileSplit.
We'll have a DJ playing music throughout the event.
If you have any questions on the event or need assistance registering, email the meet director at jason.creasy11@gmail.com.
