The event features participation by over 4,000 runners split into nine races, including five separate collegiate events. The Men's College Gold 8K race is slated to begin at 11 a.m. while the Women's College Gold 6K will start 45 minutes later.
"I'm very excited to get into our mid-season racing schedule," head coach Josey Weaver said. "This is an elite meet that allows us to go up against some of the best teams in the country. I expect both squads to embrace the competition and compete. This is another stepping stone that will prepare us for the American Athletic Conference Championships and NCAA Southeast Regionals."
