CRR Silver Springs X/C
The CRR Silver Springs cross-country event takes place on Saturday, December 12, 2026, and is race number six in the CRR Grand Prix Series. The event began in 1987 and this edition marks the 40th running. Race director duties changed in 2024.
The course is in Bowmont Park on the north side, about 200 m south of the Silver Springs Community Hall. Distances offered include:
- 0.5 to 1 km, Children 12 and under
- 4 km, Children 12 and under, Masters 70 plus, Male and Female Open
- 8 km, Age groups in 10 year brackets, Male and Female
Online pre-registration closes on the evening before the race. Cash payment is accepted on site at the start and finish area. Entry fees vary by category; children 12 and under enter for free. A parent or guardian must sign a waiver for participants under 18.
The 4 km and 8 km courses traverse hillsides, gullies, and thickets and share the same initial segment. Expect mud, ice, or snow; treaded shoes or spikes are recommended. Parts of the course pass through unleashed dog areas. Toilets are located at the community hall.
A post-race meal is held at the Silver Springs Community Association on the ground floor. Volunteers provide hot soup, rolls, and beverages; desserts may be shared and participants are encouraged to use personal mugs or bowls to reduce waste.
Volunteer roles include start and finish setup, timing, finish stick sorting, results management, course marshaling, and kitchen help. Events proceed if temperatures remain above minus 20 degrees Celsius; final decisions rest with the race directors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
