There are races for runners of all ages and abilities. The inaugural 2021 event will occur on Saturday, December 11th. Races will begin at noon and progress through early evening, ending before sunset/5pm. One of our main goals for this Menlo College Cross Country/Track & Field fundraising event is to simply have FUN! Come for your own race and stay and cheer for the rest. The pros at Record Timing will be providing live web results (with race splits) the day of the meet as well as in-person via their large LED display clock/results board. The highlight of the day will be the Menlo Mile Men's & Women's Championship Races at the conclusion of the meet where our top-12 entered men and women will vie for the right to be named Menlo Miles Champion. To be eligible for a top-12 Menlo Mile Championship Race spot, you must have a verifiable FAT result from an official meet submitted. 1500 and mile race result submissions will be subject to 1600 meter conversion. Registration for the Menlo Mile Championship can be done on our Eventbrite Registration Link or by emailing Menlo College Head Men's & Women's Cross Country & Track Coach Daniel Simpson [email protected]. Though it is not encouraged, Record Timing will allow day-of-race registration for those who decide to attend at the last minute! Important: all Menlo Miles races are of the "Open" variety outside of the two gender-specific championship races, the Open Championship and 12 And Under Championship - meaning most races will be organized by estimated ability, NOT AGE OR GENDER. On the registration form, please include the estimate of your CURRENT fitness. THIS SCHEDULE IS MEANT AS A GUIDE. A FINAL TIME SCHEDULE WITH HEAT SHEETS WILL BE RELEASED ON Friday, December 10th.
