When I saw that there would be mud, water, and sand - I thought XC spikes were the way to go... but my college-era spikes were pretty shriveled up (its been 20 years)... so my plan now is just an old pair of trail shoes. They aren't the best, but I can just toss them post-race if they are trashed. I think the difference between perfect xc spikes and these old trail shoes will only be a few seconds per km.
How competitive will the "Fun Runs" be at the 2026 World Cross Country Championships in Tallahassee?

Planning to wear Kilkennies, but I'm also slow. Sub-20 will take a miracle.

Excited for this weekend! Flying out tomorrow, but not sure what shoes to pack. I mentioned I don't own spikes anymore, but I'm worried about the mud.
For guys who are doing one of the fun runs, what kind of shoes are your bringing? Are you going to spike up? I'm thinking of just wearing old trail shoes that I wouldn't mind getting trashed in the mud.
I'm just jogging the 4km fun run, and my wife may see if she can walk the 2km (she's signed up for the 4km but is now injured). By the way, if you're renting a car, you may want to stop by a Dick's or Academy or some similar store and buy a folding chair for $10. Seems like that would be worth it rather than having to stand for several hours in the morning. We're driving from 3 hours away so are bringing our own chairs - I emailed the organizers, who said we could bring them into the park.

Anyone know where the results are for the community races ?
Worlds results and Club Nats results are easy enough to find, but the race roster page for the community races has no info. I also contacted the organizers and will post here if I get a response.

I have no idea, but I hope someone does.
What a great experience that was!

I'm glad I did it, despite it being close to 80 degrees for the community 4k time block. I like how the medals they handed out aren't flimsy plastic or cheap ribbon.

Finally came across the results. Should have thought to go to the actual timing company but it didn't dawn on me until today.
