About the 17th Annual Stumptown XC Series

The Stumptown Cross Country Series rotates through several Portland parks over the fall, each venue bringing its own stretch of grassy, uneven terrain. These are proper cross country courses, not road races dressed up with cones, and the fields tend to reflect that. Women and men race in separate heats at each stop.

Series registration covers all four races. At Blue Lake Regional Park specifically, there is a paid parking fee per vehicle, and the organizers suggest carpooling. No pets are permitted at that venue.
