Greetings Coaches,
We’d like to invite your team to the 8th annual Granada Distance & Sprint Festival. This will be an excellent opportunity for runners to earn fast times as they test their fitness against some of California’s top athletes. The meet design is ideal for FAST TIMES:
Athletes are seeded by ability creating intense head-to-head competition.
The morning Distance session will offer cooler temperatures.
