Parking:

Other Details:

Our Team Tent will be located on the infield of the track.  Athletes and meet volunteers only in the team tent area please.  The meet host asks that parents and spectators remain outside of the track fence.  

Restrooms are indicated on the Facility Map.  

This is another great racing environment.  Urban Announcing will be announcing the meet and keeping things energetic with music.  There will be t-shirts for sale, as well as Shave Crave, and Cook & Farmer food trucks.  

Admission: Spectators must purchase tickets online.  Cost is $11 per ticket for all ages.  Athletes do not need tickets (this includes 6th graders in Uniform, even though they will not be racing).  You can do this in advance or when you arrive at the meet.  Here is the ticket link: Trojan Invitational Tickets

Course: This is another fun course, though not as flat and fast as Metrolina.  A true cross country course with some interesting hills, a bit of gravel, some wooded areas, and long stretches around soccer fields.  *Note, this is Northwestern’s typical cross country course, which is different from the Rudolph course.  

Awards:  Top 20 in Varsity races and Top 15 in JV races will receive medals.
