HDR Summer XC Series COED RELAY

The High Desert Runners again sponsors its annual series of all-comers cross-country meets for Antelope Valley

area distance runners this summer. These are ALL-COMERS meets, and runners of all ages and abilities are

welcome. This year's series will include six weekly meets on Thursday evenings from July 11 through August

15. All meets feature a 3-mile open race and a 1-kilometer fun run for children aged 12 and under. Parents of

children running the kids’ fun run are encouraged to run with their children.

LOCATION: This year’s meets will again be held at Pelona Vista Park, on Tierra Subida Road at Rayburn

Road in Palmdale. The start, finish, and staging areas are at the northwest corner of the north soccer fields area 

below the restrooms. 

TIME: Mandatory registration (a legal requirement) starts at 5:45 p.m. The kid’s run will begin at about 6:30

p.m., with the main race starting at about 6:45 p.m. Don't be late!

COED RELAY: The fifth meet on August 10th will be run as a single three-segment COED RELAY on the

long course. At least one male and one female must be on each two- or three-person team. Each segment will be

about a mile long. Runners should recruit their partners well in advance.

DONATIONS ENCOURAGED: There is NO entry fee! However, we ask for a minimum $1 donation per

meet (includes both races) from all participants to defray series expenses. The High Desert Runners is a 501(c)

3 non-profit corporation; all donations are tax-deductible.

MISCELLANEOUS: Water and a sports drink will be available at the finish. For more info, contact series
