17TH ANNUAL 2026 TALL CITY INVITATIONAL hosted by MIDLAND CLASSICAL ACADEMY. 

Saturday, August 22, 2026 @ Midland's Hogan Park & Sibley Nature Trail

EARLIER START / FINISH TIMES / CHANGE IN ORDER OF EVENTS

    • To mitigate heat exposure for the athletes competing later in the meet, we've moved up the start times. We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize the safety and well-being of all participants. 
    • MISD starts school Tuesday, August 18, 2026. Subsequently, by race day, the UIL junior high athletes will likely have had little to no training so we're moving our junior high races to the coolest part of the day in hopes of mitigating heat related injuries.

THE ATHLETIC COMPANY COOL DOWN TRAILER / TENT will be on site again!
