The NXN course location needs to change!

HSRunningFan wrote:

The NXN meet is held in a constantly water-logged golf course in the rain. Move the meet to a location where the course and weather won't be too much of a factor and hurts these kids who work their butts off for the dream of performing well. It makes it incredibly hard to gauge one's long distance endurance fitness.

My suggestions:

1. Eagle Island, ID

2. Woodward Park, CA

3. WakeMed Soccer Park, NC

4. Bear Branch Park, TX

5. Badlands Park, CA

How do we contact Rich Gonzalez or anyone on the NXN Management team?

I actually quite enjoyed watching the 2024 NXN race but I don't like the argument that Americans should be more like Europeans.

Blew your credibility when you suggested Eagle Island. Awful course!

Average Cali kid trying to get a true XC meet onto easier courses. That is true XC. You want to do well in the mud train on mud(or sand). I would do strides just in the water on a beach. Gets you used to running in bad conditions.
