Cross-Country Day is always a crowd favorite! Every Saturday of the K3DE we get away from the stadiums and arenas to watch competitors take on exciting obstacles along the Cross-Country Course. The Defender Tailgate is the best way to experience the day!
Tailgating set-up is from 7 am to 9 am sharp, and all spaces must be reserved in advance. Only one vehicle is allowed for tailgating space, but any number of friends can join you at the tailgate with a Grounds Admission ticket. Don't have a tent? No problem! You can add-on a Tailgating Tent Package that includes a 10 x 10 tent, 4 chairs, and a 6 foot table. Park nearby for easy access to tent. Full rules and regulations are listed below.
