SDSU Aztec Invitational -Saturday, Sept. 2014- INFO

DISTANCE - LOCATION5k and 8k races for men and women for University and Community runners.
San Diego State sponsored University Cross Country Race in Balboa Park.

RACE INFO
The 68th annual Aztec Cross Country Invitational has been set for Saturday, Sept. 15, 2012 at San Diego's Balboa Park, head coach Shelia Burrell announced today.
"This meet promises to feature some of the top collegiate club teams and distance athletes around," Burrell said. "San Diego State is rebuilding its distance program back to the level it achieved in the late 1970's and early-1980's, when our women sent individuals and teams to the NCAA national championships. We have great distance tradition here on The Mesa and our longstanding invitational is something we are building on."
That tradition dates back to the mid-1960's, when SDSU's men's program captured the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships for three consecutive years (1965-67)

The Women's Open 5K starts things off at 8 a.m. PT, and will be followed by the 8:30 a.m. Women's Invitational (5K). The Men's Invitational, which is an 8K, will get underway at 9 a.m., with the Men's Open (8K) to follow at 9:30 a.m.

After the four invitational and open sections, once again SDSU will be holding a Community 5K race at 10 a.m. as a part of the Aztec Cross Country Invitational. The Community race is open to runners of all abilities, ages and genders. This will be the fifth running of the Community race, which was also held in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2011.
