Meet Information

The George Brown Invitational

George Brown, former Superintendent of Tazewell County Public Schools, was known not only for his dedication to education and student success, but also for his passion for running and healthy living. A strong supporter of athletics and youth development, Mr. Brown believed that sports like cross country helped build discipline, perseverance, and character in students. His love for running and commitment to the community left a lasting impact on Tazewell County schools and the many lives he influenced throughout his career.

Cavitt's Creek Park

Nestled in the scenic mountains of Southwest Virginia, Cavitt's Creek Park offers a beautiful and challenging setting for cross country competition. The course winds through rolling terrain surrounding Lake Witten, featuring a mix of grass, gravel, and lakeside paths with stunning natural views throughout the park. Known for its peaceful atmosphere and Appalachian beauty, Cavitt's Creek Park provides athletes and spectators alike with an unforgettable race-day experience.
