About the Oregon Schools Elementary Cross Country Series

This is an elementary school cross country series held at Clay High School, open to kids in kindergarten through sixth grade from the local district schools. Races are split by grade band, with the youngest kids running shorter distances and older grades running longer. Results are handled by a local running shop, which gives it a proper meet feel rather than a casual fun run.

The series runs across several evenings in the fall, and registering once puts your child in all the meets. If you miss one, no problem. Ribbons go to top finishers in each wave, and everyone who runs gets one too.

Common Questions About the Oregon Schools Elementary Cross Country Series

Will I finish last at the Oregon Schools Elementary Cross Country Series?

Almost certainly not. Half the race field finished slower than 5:07, and the last recorded finisher came in around 39:29, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Oregon Schools Elementary Cross Country Series a good first race?

It is a small race (45 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 race, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Oregon Schools Elementary Cross Country Series?

The race winner ran 3:29 while the median finisher took 5:07. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
