The 2022 USATF Masters 5 km Cross Country Championships, hosted by T.E.A.M. Boulder and the Boulder Road Runners, will take place on Saturday, October 22, 2022 in Boulder, CO. From the Pearl Street Mile to the Colleen De Reuck Cross Country Classic, Lee Troop and his team are known for their well-planned and executed events. They are partnering with the Boulder Road Runners and USATF Colorado to put on a first-class cross country competition that runners will remember and talk about for years to come. This will be the first National cross country championship in Boulder since the successful 2-year run of the USATF Cross Country Championships in 2014 and 2015. Athletes will run two loops of a classic cross country course laid out at the Harlow Platts/Viele Lake park complex. Runners will race over the grounds and circle the lake twice, with just under 300 feet of elevation gain/loss. Fly into the Denver International Airport on your favorite air carrier and Boulder is just 43 miles away. Virtually all rental car companies operate in and out of Denver, and the popular Regional Transportation District (RTD) bus and ride-sharing options such as Uber and Lyft are also available. The crisp Boulder air and view of the surrounding mountains is breathtaking! Come a week early and adapt to the altitude or stay a week after the race and enjoy the mountains and what Boulder has to offer.
