2022 KNIGHT NIGHT

          XC RELAYS

 

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The Preston High Cross Country team would like to invite you to the 16th Annual Knight Night XC Relays.  Due to home football game on Friday, August 26th, the middle school and high school races will be held on the same night, Saturday, August 27th.

 

Knight Night Relays will be staged at dusk / dark and the course will be lit by the lights of Knights Stadium, the Preston Baseball Field, the Preston Softball Field, and the Dr. John Trenton Track & Field facility.  In addition, supplemental lighting will be provided by tiki torches, glow sticks, fire trucks, and diesel light towers.  We are planning on having fireworks at the conclusion of each meet.  We will have a few additional surprises for athletes and spectators.  Previous editions have had a hot air balloon, fire performer, and paragliders.      

 

The course is a modified loop and will start and finish inside Knight’s Stadium.  Athletes will run the majority of the first mile of the existing course (including Hayfield Hills) before heading back towards the stadium.  Runners will then travel in a counter clockwise around the football field before handing off to the next runner.  We will attempt to get split times for each athlete.
