Ojai Invitational - Community 3 Miler
About this race
In conjunction with our annual Ojai XC Invitational, Nordhoff High School is once again adding the Community 3 Miler to the race program. This is a true cross country course, traversing roads and dirt trails with some slightly challenging hills and beautiful views of Lake Casitas. It has been the home of the Ojai Invitational Cross Country course for over 30 years as well as being the location of the Ventura County Cross Country Championships. There is no better place to have a fun run or to put your distance speed to the test.
This race will be timed using chip timing. Please pick up your bib at the cross country shed at the course on the morning of the race.
Proceeds from this race will go directly to the Nordhoff High School Cross Country team.
Your race registration includes a "Ojai Invitational" t-shirt! :)
