Cross Country Invitational Mt. SAC is home to the largest Cross Country Invitational in the world. The Cross Country course at Mt. SAC is considered one of the most challenging in the nation. The runners start on a long airstrip and run over three hills. The Valley Loop is a flat loop in the beginning of the race where runners usually overtake others. The first mile, due to the flat, hard surface, is extremely quick. This mile is immediately followed by the switchbacks up the side of the first hill. The switchbacks are very technical as the runners are often closesly packed entering this area, and the hill itself is both steep and loose packed. Arguably most challenging is the infamous "poop out" hill, which is the steepest hill on the course (as well as one of the shortest). The final climb runners must conquer before a steep descent to the flat finish area is Reservoir Hill, the path to which features several very steep switchbacks. The end of the race is also designed for speed, and wraps right around the spectator area for an exciting finish.
In 2006 over 24,000 elementary school, middle school, high school and community college athletes competed in the 3 day event.
