The Racers will run a 5k at the Belmont Season Opener to start the season at Percy Warner Park in Nashville, Tennessee, Sept. 2.
"The first race is a 5k, so the ultimate goal is to help them finish feeling strong. This is important to make sure they are prepared to make the jump the 6k (races)," said cross country coach, Jordan Johnston.
The women will be competing on 6k races to throughout the season to prepare them for The Valley championship.
Their first championship distance race will be at the Golden Eagle Invite hosted by Tennessee Tech at the TTU Course, Sept. 16.

"It will be the first time in seven years since we've been to the Bradley Pink Classic, it is a very nice course and there will a lot of good competition," Johnston said.
