2020 PNTF Cross Country Championships – CONFIRMED

11/22/2020

USATF Pacific Northwest Open & Masters Cross Country Championships

Sunday, November 22, 2020

9:00am-12:15pm starts

Woodland Park, Seattle WA

The PNTF board has determined that the circumstances of the pandemic call for some modifications to the usual program of the PNTF Cross Country Championships. Current state COVID-19 safety guidance does not permit large mass-starts, so this year’s race will be run in small wave starts. Because head-to-head racing will not be possible among enough of the field, and because of uncertainty about the ability of some athletes to attend on short notice, there will be no individual championship titles or prize money this year.

The following team championship competitions will be contested:

  • Masters Women (6k): All women runners aged 40 and over, with no limit on team size
  • Masters Men (6k): All men runners aged 40 and over, with no limit on team size
  • Open Women (6k): Women runners aged 18 and over, with no limit on team size
  • Open Men (10k): Men runners aged 18 and over, with no limit on team size

For all team competitions: The top five runners on a team will score, and the top seven runners on each team will displace.

A current USATF membership is required to run in the championship races. If you’re unsure of your membership status, you can check it here.

The championship races will be followed by a 4k Community Race that is open to all ages and does not require USATF membership.
