ATHLETES & PARENTS: The information below is provided to help you have a great experience!
BEFORE COMING TO THE MEET:
1) If you are a parent who registered your athlete on your own and not through your school's coach, please be sure to read the information under the Race Day tab "Info for Coaches"
​
2) COME PREPARED! Between athletes, coaches, & spectators you can expect 3000+ people will be attending this event. Know where to meet your team and coach to pick up your competitor bib! Look at the course map ahead of time to know where you need to be! Look at the meet schedule to know when you need to be there!
​
3) We will have a limited number of shirts available the day of the meet. Come early, they always go fast! Shirts are available in youth and adult sizes.
​
RACE DAY:
1) Arrive at least one hour before you are scheduled to race. We recommend 90 minutes before your race if you would like to walk the course before you race.
​
2) Pick-up your competitor bib from your coach or the person designated to check-in your team. If you registered as an individual, you can check yourself in.
​
3) Your competitor bib will have a timing chip attached to the back. Do not damage this chip! Damaged chips will not be read by the timing equipment meaning you will not be included in the results. Your competitor bib should be worn on the front of your uniform between your chest and stomach. Your coach will have safety pins for you.
​
4) Be at the start line 15 minutes before your races start time. HAVE FUN!
​
5) Check to results as they are posted. If you finished in the top 25 in the Open Race or top 25 in the Championship Race, stick around for the awards ceremony which will begin at 2:45 to pick up your medal!
