ARRIVE
Please plan to arrive 15–20 minutes before the start time. This gives you, as a parent, a great opportunity to practice field events with your runner before we begin. Arriving on time is important—we’ll be kicking things off with a big group warm-up, and we don’t want anyone to miss out.

WALK UP
Please use the entrance and exit at the far right, next to the scoreboard. All other gates will remain locked.

THE START
Runners should gather at the sound of a series of whistles for warm-ups—parents do not need to attend this portion. Once warm-ups are complete, both parents and runners should head to the starting area for the Welcome & Expectations speech.

HELP

Coach • Assistant Coach • Team Parents

We could really use your help! When you hear your child’s age group called, please step forward if you’d like to lend a hand. We’re splitting the runners into groups first by gender and then by grades. With 185 runners participating, it’s important to have smaller groups. If you look below you will see some large groups. This will mean longer wait time and less 1st, 2nd & 3rd place ribbons; unless we can break them into 2 groups.

Coach
- Leads a group from one event to the next and writes down measurements.
- Clipboard with Map of Events, Roster, Events, Ribbons, Pen & Highlighter
Assistant Coach
- Helps the coach & calls out measurements. He/She goes to the finish line to gather runners for the next race.
Team Parent
