There will be one entry gate. Spectators will need to give their name, school team name, and the runner they are there to watch. The Athletic Director and volunteers will check to see that they are on the list that was provided ahead of time, and direct them to drop their ticket in a bucket before being admitted in to the meet.

**Please be aware of your county color coding when purchasing tickets. Color coding maps come out on Saturdays at 9:00 pm.

Mask up: Everyone in attendance is required to wear a mask except the runners when they are competing during their Section races. Spectators & coaches who cheer and yell during a race risk spreading the virus to others, so a mask is a must. We consider the safety of the runners, coaches, spectators and staff involved in this meet to be a priority.  Event staff will be on hand to ensure that masks are worn properly, covering both the nose and mouth and that proper social distancing is being maintained.

Race Procedures: Teams should report to starting line at least 10 minutes and no earlier than 15 minutes before the start of their race. Box assignments will be issued and will appear on your race packet. Teams are to stay in their box and do strides directly in front of their box. Avoid other teams during your warm-up. Boxes will be spread out and no team will be within 6 feet from another team.

Finish line procedures will be as follows:

· There will be NO finish line chute. Runners are to cross the line then immediately head back to their team camp.

· There will be no water except for those needing medical attention from the ambulance.

. Runners may not hang around to watch other races.

 ** We want everyone to enjoy their time at the meet and follow guidelines. We look forward to putting on a great meet for your student athletes.
