July 14-19

Please report mileage!

Please start getting all eligibility requirements taken care of in the next two weeks, the deadline will come very soon, we are 6 weeks into a 10 week summer.  Fees will be added at a later date (First of August), but  RMA, grades, and physicals should all be taken care of ASAP.  

Also the daily temps are starting to go up this week again, so hydrate really well so you can feel good and train good.

We have had the majority of athletes respond about XC Camp, but if you haven't done so please respond to the survey. Camp will be August 4-6.  HERE is the link.  

We have to have final camp numbers this week.  We would highly recommend all of you going to camp, if you are able.  We have taken 36-40 athletes the past 3 years and that is the plan again.

The Deseret News 10k

It's the oldest and fastest course in Utah with great competition and tons of fun festivities. It is a great mid-summer race for athletes getting ready for cross country. We are continuing the tradition of the HIGH SCHOOL TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS once again this year. Here are the details:

-  Register teams of 4 athletes. The top 3 runners on each team will count towards team score (cross country style). Let your Coach know if you are doing this so they can email us.

- Runners need to come from the same high school. They can be from the class of 2025 or from your incoming classes. We will have both a boys team division and a girls team division.

- Top 3 Teams will receive medals and prizes. Top team will be awarded a team trophy.

- We offer a great discount to high school runners and coaches. Use the promo code "DN_HS25" to keep the 10k Cost at $40 up until registration closes. You can also use the promo for $20 off the half marathon if you want to run longer.  

The Deseret News Marathon Relay 

The Relay is brand new this year and we have a high school division. Teams of 2-4 can register to complete the Marathon distance relay style. Start with the Marathon Runners at Big Mountain at 5:30am. Leg 1 is 6 miles, Leg 2 is 9.5 miles, Leg 3 is 6 miles, and Leg 4 is 4.7 miles. 

Teams can use the code "DN_RELAY" for a great deal of $200 for the team (a $100 discount)!! 

The top 3 high school teams will be awarded custom batons. All finishing teams will get medals for all members of the team.
