If you're a newbie to trails this is beginner-friendly and as a veteran, you'll love the true cross country feel of 2018's NCAA DII NCAA East Region Championships!

GETTING YOUR BIB

Wearing Your Bib: The mid-torso is the sweet spot for accurate results. Please be sure to wear your bib just above your belly button, right side up, for best read-rates.
