Course: The course is mostly flat and is 5K distance with two small hills on lap 1 and lap 2. Start and Finish are near the far corner of the track and soccer field. The course starts in the field and goes into the woods and consists of two laps in the woods and finishes by the starting line. Plenty of parking and very spectator friendly course. There is going to be a minor extra loop added due to needing to move starting line forward from what course map shows.

Timing: Timing will be done by Tri State Racer. There will be a finish line archway, and visible clock.

The meet was a great meet last year as we had 17 teams show up for this invitational. As always, the competition is very competitive, entry fee is relatively low, and the course makes for some very fast times. Concessions are being upgraded this year. T-shirts will be on a pre-order basis and prices are to be determined later. Order forms will be sent out to the coaches who register that they are attending. Please contact Coach Chris Biser at Budbiser@hotmail.com if there are any questions and to register your team.
