Race Procedure:  For the first wave of the first race we will allow each team to put in their top 3 boys. We will then fill up the remaining slots with some

# 4’s to fill out the 35-person wave. (We will ask for coaches to volunteer some quality 4’s).  This race will start at 4:30. At 4:35 the gun will go off again for a wave of girls that was selected in the same way.  There will be separate finishing chutes for the boys and the girls!  We will repeat this procedure with the remaining runners; boys at 5:00pm and girls at 5:05pm. There will be 35 X’s marked right behind the starting line.  Placement for the first race will be first come, first serve for the top 3 from each team.  4’s will fill the remaining spaces. For the second race it will be first come first serve with the remaining runners. Our race numbers are such that we can get by with 2 races of 2 waves, each. As runners finish they should slow down (no passing in the chute) and walk out of the chute with their number clearly showing. We will not pull tags!  We will have workers record the bib numbers as the runners exit the chute.

                        the course will be approximately 3000 meters.           

                       

Miscellaneous:    We are asking that masks be worn by spectators at all times.  Coaches should wear masks when they are going to come close to runners, parents, or spectators.  They can unmask if they are running with their runners or running from spot to spot on the course. Runners must wear masks unless they are running. This would include warming up, running from the tent to the starting line, racing, & their cool down run. For Cross Country, even though we are a “yellow” county, parents, guardians, & siblings can attend! Pre-sold tickets will be collected at the top of the hill.
