Chancellor High School Cross Country Invitational 2018

The Invitational will be held on a NEW COURSE containing mostly beautiful grass and trails at Loriella Park in Spotsylvania, VA. This will be the 2018 Region 4B Championship Course. For those of you who have attended in the past, the course no longer runs through the parking lot to the front of the Park around the soccer field. The New Course Map is attached and can be downloaded off the Milestat website. For the safety of the runners, some of the trails have been covered with very fine stone dust provided by. There will be mile markers every mile. We hope that you have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you 1 September.

This year starts a NEW COURSE! So, be the first on the Record Board!

Sincerely,

Chancellor HS Cross Country & Track Teams
