It looks like they’ll have around 1100 high schoolers racing from the 39 teams attending. Also they expect to have runners from 20 middle school prgrams.

Directions to meet:
100 South 2nd Ave, Lyons, CO, 80540. We are located about 1 mile west of the intersection of Hwy 36 and Hwy 66 (which currently has some construction going on). When you see the big “Welcome to Lyons” sandstone rock, turn left over the river and drive about a quarter mile to the 3-way stop sign. You’ll be able to see the school south of the intersection. We will have a drop-off area for buses in the parking lot south of the school with a police officer directing traffic. Once buses are empty, they will leave the parking lot and drive north to the 3-way stop again, stay to the left and park at the Mormon church which is just up the street. Parking will be at a premium, so it would be great if you can encourage your fans to carpool.

The Boulder Running Company will have a tent on site and have donated the bibs for the race. Jeff Boele is in charge of team sales for the Boulder store and would be happy to visit with you about any apparel needs.
