Late last week, amongst the chaos of state track meets, NCAA DI Outdoor Track and Field Championship preliminaries and the build-up to the adidas Grand Prix, USATF announced Boulder, Colorado will host the 2014 and 2015 USA Cross Country Championships....

Chris Nickinson, on , said:

I'm all for rotating the meet around to different locations. Different venues suit different runners and add a level of excitement. I do love the two year rotation. Athletics Canada puts their meets on a 3 year rotation which gives the hosts a lot to work with an improve upon each year.

I don't think the altitude component is that big of a deal. In 2007 both junior races were won by sea level trained high schoolers. Yes, the men's senior race was dominated by altitude trained-based athletes but the women's race only had 3 in the top 10 who lived at altitude. Those that want to run the race will still show up and in 2015, I think we'll see athletes going to altitude camp earlier in if they intend to try to make the US world cross team.


I would not be opposed to rotating it every four years. That way the host gets two off-year races and two on-year (championship year) races. I feel that'd work really well and build enough fresh excitement for the sport. Regardless, I think this is a great move by USATF and I am hopeful it'll be successful for the sport, both in terms of entertaining fans and building up corporate (monetary) support.
