Rim Rock Farm Collegiate Classic October 5, 2013
Historic Rim Rock Farm, located northwest of Lawrence is one of the nation s premier cross country courses. The course for the Rim Rock Farm Cross Country Classic on October 5, 2013 has been modified from the 1998 NCAA Championships to better suit mid season racing. The new course offers runners the opportunity to enjoy the scenic twists and turns and one of Rim Rock s notable covered bridges, all while being mindful of mid season fitness. The new course is spectator friendly with coaches and fans being able to easily watch runners within the start/finish area pass si times on the 8k course and five times on the 6k. Rim Rock Farm is no stranger to large events. In addition to the NCAA Championships in 1998, the course has hosted the Rim Rock High School Classic since 1997.

Spectators can catch the runners three or four times throughout the event and eplore the different elevations.
