The Grand Prix schedule includes events in Carmel, Columbus, Huntington, Lowell, and Seymour.  Each meet will offer races for youth, open, and masters athletes.  

USATF membership is not required to participate in the meets but only USATF Indiana members will earn Grand Prix points at each of the meets that will accumulate towards a year-end grand prix score and place. 

The Grand Prix will culminate with the USATF Indiana Cross Country Championships on November 12 but additional scoring opportunites will be available for those athletes who compete in the Junior Olympic Region and National Championships and the USATF National Club Cross Country Championships
