Runners will be assigned a pairing

Pairs will take turns running a 1000m course in relay fashion

Once the pair has completed 8000m, they're done!

Awards to the fastest 2 finishing pairs!

Awards also to the best costumes

(one leg of the relay must be run in costume to qualify)

Parents/spectators can bring folding chairs and set up on the practice field. Or sit in the bleachers.

You'll be able to see the exchange zone and about 400m of the course. 

Boosters will also have a "yardsale" of previous year's spiritwear.

What to do & Where to go

Yes! We practice on the first day of school!

School is out at 3:30. 

Warm ups start at 3:50 (don't be late!) 

We'll be done at 5:15ish. Parents can pick up students in the area behind the freshman academy. This will be the same all season, every weekday. 

When you get out of school, find a restroom to change in. Bring your stuff with you out to the field. We have a place to store it safely out there. No phones, earbuds, airpods at practice. It all must be stored. You should bring a water bottle though!

During the day, you can store a bag with XC clothes in any of the coaches' rooms if you like. We're all upstairs from the bandroom.
