Race Entries

All athletes should be entered through the Milesplit entry portal, accessed through our Meet Homepage on the Calendar. It is not necessary to assign athletes to the individual races, just ensure that your entire roster is entered. Each athlete will receive a shoe chip and a bib number, and you decide on race morning which event you'd like to have your runners compete in.

Championship Races: in general we request that you limit your entries here to 7 athletes per race. If you'd like to run as many as 10 athletes, that is permissible, but you must declare 7 athletes for team scoring purposes. If you plan to run more than 7 athletes, please submit a list of your "scoring 7" at the check-in tent on race morning.

JV Purple vs JV Black Races: there is not intended to be a difference in the quality of the two groups of races. We simply have one set of races early and one set late to accommodate different travel schedules. 

Timing and Results

The Perfect Timing Group will handle results and scoring. Each athlete will be assigned a shoe chip and each athlete's name and time will appear in the official results for their race. Please note the following:

1) Bib numbers must match the chip numbers for each athlete.

2) Use the provided zip-ties to secure chips to EITHER shoe. We will remove the chips in the finish chute with scissors, and attaching the chip to shoelaces means well have to cut shoelaces!

3) VERY IMPORTANT please return ALL your team chips to the Timers at the finish line before leaving. There is a $20 fee for each un-returned chip.

Race Packet Pick-up and Check-in

The packet pick-up table will be adjacent to the finish line area.

Course Description

The course consists of two loops of roughly 1.5 miles each. While there are small rolling hills throughout, the only "uncomfortable" hill is at the roughly 1.3 and 2.7 mile marks (i.e., once on each loop). This is a gradual incline of about 150 meters. Once crested on the 2nd loop, runners have a nice 180 meter downhill stretch to the finish.

The course has a variety of grass, dirt, sand and loose gravel. No asphalt or concrete road crossings! Racing spikes are entirely appropriate.

Sedentary spectators will view runners at the start, half-way and finish. Spectators who don't mind being a little mobile can also get nice views of athletes at 1,200 meters and 3,600 meters, the latter of which offers plenty of time to get back to the finish before athletes arrive.

Splits

Split times will be called at both the 1 and 2 mile marks.

Course Preview

The course will be open at 2 pm on Friday for preview.

Parking

There is a parking fee of $5 per vehicle. Vehicles carrying only coaches or athletes do not pay this fee. However, if a parent is transporting athletes with an intent to stay at the meet, that parent will be asked to pay the fee. Wed appreciate it if you could pass this information along to your parents ahead of time. Car pooling is encouraged!
