POINT OF EMPHASIS:

Athletes warming up and viewing the course will NOT be permitted to cross the mile and two mile split. This is due to the athletes having their chips and making “artificial” readings during other races. Course marshals have a plan for helping your athletes still view the course without going by this split area. Thank you for emphasizing respect of the course marshals with your athletes.

RACE INFORMATION:

  1. In all team races, you must enter at least 5 runners and no more than 10*. Those with less than 5 runners must enter the open race or have received permission from meet director.
  2. Course will be well marked for all three race distances.
  3. A Chip Timing system will be used for all races.
  4. Bib numbers are to be attached to the front of the athlete’s jersey.
  5. Place cards – your runner may be handed a place card in the chute for back-up scoring only. If they are given a place card, collect your team’s cards and write the athlete’s name and school on each card and submit them to the finish line official.
  6. Scoring – 5 scorers will be used for team scores with ONLY #6 - #7 runners as displacers.
  7. Starting postion will be given to you upon checking in with the clerks or during packet pick-up
  8. The course has been measured accurately to 5000 m. The course is measured by where a typical runner would compete and NOT the white line.
