Encinitas Youth Cross Country Invitational set for Aug. 30

The Encinitas Youth Cross Country Invitational invites kids ages 5-14 to participate in a day of races Aug. 30, offering an opportunity for an introduction to the sport of cross-country running. Running is a lifelong activity, and cross-country running can be enjoyed at the junior high, high school, college and even the professional level. San Diego has a strong tradition of cross-country excellence with many state- and nationally-ranked teams.

The invitational will be held on the grounds of the Old Meeting Hall on Rancho Santa Fe Road. As a special guest, The Flash will be leading all of the 10 & Under races, and kids can have their pictures taken with him.
