BYU Autumn Classic

The 2009 BYU Autumn Classic Cross Country Invitational promises to be a great event again! The meet will be held on the BYU Campus Cross Country Course. The course starts on the grass warm-up field to the north of the track and finishes on the track. It includes the warm-up field, the outfield of the baseball side of Miller Park and the grass corridor between the track and Miller Park. The course has a number of excellent features. It is all grass and track surface, with 70 - 80% of the course on grass. All pathways near the baseball field are covered so that competitors can wear spikes. The finish of the races will be at the main finish line on the track in front of the main grandstand. The features of the complex include: seating for 3000 spectators with a view of 70% of the course, the main scoreboard, sound system, full bathrooms and concessions.
