About AAA Cross Country

Our program welcomes kids in grades 1-5 from Andover, Minnesota  and all surrounding communities.  No equipment is needed except a pair of running/tennis shoes (no spikes).

Meets

Kids will compete in Four Sunday afternoon meets (weather permitting) at Anoka High School.  For the 2021 season, tentative meets are scheduled for:

• September 24th
• October 1st
• October 8th
• October 15th

Meets will begin at appx 2:00pm and last about 1 hour including awards. We will be running the Boys and Girls teams together. Races will still be broken up based on Grade/Distance/Gender.

• Grade 1-3 Girls & Boys (1 Mile)
• Grade 4-5 Girls & Boys (1.5 Mile)

Athletes will receive a high-quality performance style AAA Cross Country shirt and compete for ribbons.  The top-8 runners of each gender in each race receive a ribbon based on their place as well as Personal Record ribbons for improvement. Depending on number of 1st grade registrants may give them their own race.

Practices

Practice will begin Mid-September (week of September 13th).  Schedules will vary somewhat by team and coach.  Practice locations will be determined by coaches and will last approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. 

Interested but concerned about conflicts with other sports? No Problem!  The Cross Country program puts the emphasis on developing distance running and personal achievement.  It also serves as a complimentary sport to other activities.  Team practice attendance is flexible if your athlete is busy running at another sport.  

Don't know your fall plans? No worries! If you register by June 30th and your fall plans change the registration fee will be 100% refunded to you no questions asked!

Early Registration through Aug 15th is just $49 (use code: 2023EarlyCC).  Late Registration is open through Sept 3rd for just $69.
