  The course is located in Cokeley Recreation Area at North Bend State Park on the Harrisville side of the park.  The course is viewer friendly and almost entirely a grass surface.  We will have use of the bathhouse facilities at the campground including restrooms and showers.

Directions:

We STRONGLY recommend using the Ellenboro exit from RT 50 and follow the signs to North Bend.   For teams coming from the Parkersburg direction the Cairo exit will be a very unpleasant trip to the course especially on a bus.  The entrance to Cokeley Recreation Area is 6.7 miles from US Rt 50 and approximately 1.5 miles from the intersection of Rt 16 & Rt 31 in Harrisville.

Meet Information: There will be a general admission fee for spectators. We will have spotters in all areas to help runners, as well as an athletic trainer available. We will be selling meet t-shirts (available beside of restrooms / awards area) and there will be a concession stand. We will be using computer scoring. This Meet is sanctioned by WVSSAC.
