About the Sylvania Schools Elementary Cross Country Series

This is a multi-meet cross country series for elementary school kids, hosted across several school venues around Sylvania. The younger grades run a shorter course while the older grades step up to a longer one. High school cross country teams help put the meets on, so kids get a sense of what the sport looks like at the next level.

Registration covers all the meets in the series at once, so there is no need to register separately each time. Meets run on weekday evenings, with waves going off grade by grade through the night. A local running shop handles individual results.

Common Questions About the Sylvania Schools Elementary Cross Country Series

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

Almost certainly not. Half the race field finished slower than 3:21, and the last recorded finisher came in around 5:16, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

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

It is a small race (26 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 Sylvania Schools Elementary Cross Country Series?

The race winner ran 2:41 while the median finisher took 3:21. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
