Ground broken on Spokane Valley Cross Course Wednesday...
SPOKANE VALLEY-- The shovels were planted on the ground Wednesday to celebrate the groundbreaking ceremony of a dedicated, premier cross country venue that will host national, regional and local cross country meets. This new course is located just east of Spokane in Spokane Valley, and covers 62 acres along the Spokane River. The city of Spokane Valley, along with Spokane Sports and the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission are the parties involved in developing this facility, which will host meets ranging from youth to potentially USATF and international caliber meets.
