Redondo to Run in World's Largest Cross Country Invite

Every year the world goes to war. It takes place on or about the third week of October, in the small San Gabriel Valley town of Walnut under the name, Mt. SAC Cross Country Invitational. If you have never been to this meet, you have not fully experienced the thrill of big-time cross country. Some may even go so far as to say your life is not complete. As the largest XC competition in the world, it is a multi-day spectacle of gigantic proportions. An athletic event with the feel of a medieval jousting tournament, the grittiness of Roman gladiatorial combat, the adrenaline of the Pamplona Running of the Bulls. Thousands of runners from all over the western United States arrive to do battle on the untamed hills of Walnut. They race through the flatlands of the Valley Loop, feel the pain of the famous hills; The Switchbacks, Poop-out Hill, and Reservoir, and then struggle up the incline of the Runway, rounding the final bend to sprint to the finish through The Gauntlet. Redondo Union's Sea Hawks (sans varsity girls) will be putting on their colors and taking on the best of the best. Come out and be part of the spectacle.
