What Is A Fleet Feet Golden Ticket For The Brooks XC Championship?

With the inception of the Brooks XC Championship presented by Fleet Feet, Brooks and Fleet Feet stepped up to carry a 45-year legacy of high school championship running into a new era. The format, which features four regional qualifiers, also introduced "Golden Tickets" which would automatically qualify select athletes for the championships.

In total, there are ten Golden Tickets for the fastest High School Girls and ten for the fastest High School Boys. These tickets are "Invite Only" tickets which provide athletes with automatic starting spots at the championship in San Diego. Athletes who receive Golden Tickets are hand-selected by meet organizers.
