Team Camps
Our field house and indoor facilities will not be available for team camps. Teams that are driving will need to bring their own tent. A large tent will be available as a camp area for teams that are flying.
Teams are welcome to set up their tents and team camp areas on the athletic fields as long as they do not obstruct the course.
Chip Return
We will be using reusable shoe chips. Teams will be issued a box containing all the shoes chips for their entered athletes during packet pick-up. Teams must collect all their chips at the conclusion of the meet and return them to the timing tent in the box that was issued.
The Course
Consisting mainly of two large loops, half the course is on grass around the perimeter of athletic fields and half the course takes place on 8-10 ft wide wood chip paths. The course is completely flat and, even on a rainy day, can run very fast. Even when wet, 1/4" to 3/8" spikes should suffice on the course.
