The Chuck Severy Memorial 5k Cross Country race (Aspen Summer Race Series event #3) begins at the Moore Playing Fields adjacent to the Aspen School Campus in Aspen, Colorado.
This is cross country as it was meant to be! The course features challenging hills, footing, dirt trails, and absolutely no pavement! The course will bring back memories of running cross country in high school (or make you wish you had run cross country).
The course can be reached by taking a right on Maroon Creek Road off of Highway 82. Take the first left into the parking for the Aspen Middle School and Aspen Elementary School. Walk uphill (south) to the soccer fields to the left of the Aspen High School.
