About the Hanson's 3 Mile Summer Cross Country Series

This is an evening cross country series held across a couple of local parks, including Stony Creek Metropark and River Bends Park. The courses are off-road, which is what you'd expect from a shop-sponsored summer series built around actual cross country running rather than road racing. Age group awards go out right after the results are posted, so the evening wraps up with a quick ceremony under the pavilion.

Check-in opens before the race at the pavilion, giving you time to settle in before the start. A single entry covers both races in the series. Runners already enrolled in the Hanson's youth summer camp are included automatically.

Common Questions About the Hanson's 3 Mile Summer Cross Country Series

Will I finish last at the Hanson's 3 Mile Summer Cross Country Series?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3 Miles field finished slower than 29:26, and the last recorded finisher came in around 43:57, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Hanson's 3 Mile Summer Cross Country Series a good first 3 Miles?

It is a small race (19 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Hanson's 3 Mile Summer Cross Country Series?

The 3 Miles winner ran 17:32 while the median finisher took 29:26. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
