5,000 OPEN METER CROSS COUNTRY RACE & 1 MILE YOUTH RACE/ OR WALK
Philadelphia Athletic Charities Inc and the Fairmount Park Conservancy have teamed up to
celebrate and present the new course signage and course maintenance on the Cross Country
courses of one of America's Premiere XC Courses. This annual event will be open to all age
runners of all talent levels and showcase the new signage. We invite all runners who have
run at Belmont Plateau in high school or college to come back for this race. We also invite
runners who don't normally run cross country to experience the same course that many past
National and World Class runners have competed on since the 1960s. Proceeds will benefit
the missions of the newly established Belmont Plateau Cross Country Hall of Fame and the
Fairmount Park Conservancy.
This will also serve as the Mid Atlantic Master (40 and over) Men and Women Cross Country Championship (team and individual scored separate from the Open Race scoring ) MA USATF members and their 2017 membership #
