In addition to our normal races we will be adding an elementary race and a collegiate division. Entry for the Trailblazer will be online this year at www.coacho.com. See below for the link for more detailed information on the Trailblazer The Trailblazer remains the designated the Tri-Cities Region qualifying meet for the Tennessee State Middle School Championships to be held on October 24, 2009 in Knoxville. The top 5 Tennessee teams and the top 25 individuals not on those 5 teams will qualify for the state meet. The Tennessee State MS meet is not a TSSAA/TMSAA meet. It is considered a post season meet and entry for your middle school must be handled as a "cross-country club." See Brian Buckner for further explanation. The counties that are assigned to the Tri-Cities Region are: Claiborne, Hancock, Jefferson, Hamblen, Greene, Hawkins, Sullivan, Washington, Carter, Unicoi, and Johnson.
