Cross Country provides the ultimate playing field where individual goals merge with team ambitions. The result: a sense of belonging, confidence, grit, and resilience emerge. We meet kids where they are: those new to running, multi-sport athletes, and those seeking regional and national competition.

IMPORTANT: When obtaining USATF membership, you must affiliate with the Boulder Mountain Warriors Team. On the USATF registration site, find the drop-down menu to locate the BMW team and affiliate.
