Starting Box Assignments: At packet pick-up each team will have been assigned to a starting box that will be
painted on the starting line. Please make sure your athletes know which box to line up in at the starting line. Box
assignments will be the same for each school in each race.

Team Set-up Area: There will be a designated area where teams can set up tarps, tents, chairs, etc. Please be
aware that the area where teams will be allowed to set up is about 400m down a grass hill from the parking area.
You will NOT be allowed to drive down to this area. So please be sure to have enough people to help carry
anything that is heavy or not easily transported.

Handicap Accessibility: If you have anyone that is going to need assistance getting from the parking area down to
the start/finish area, please contact us in advance, so we can make arrangements to assist in aiding anyone that
would require assistance. We will have a couple of golf carts available to aid anyone who may need assistance.
