Course

The course is FLAT and FAST! It is definitely a PR course that is accurately measured. It is also a spectator friendly course. The Course is mostly grass with the exception of a few brief crossovers that are less than 10 feet in length.  This is going to be a well run meet. Every race will start on time. For the middle school races and varsity races there will be a strict 40 minute cut off. The course is a 2,000 meter loop that has a 1,000 meter stopping point. I will send an email with a map a week before the race. Cones will mark both sides of the course. Starting boxes will be assigned and handed out at the meet.

Parking

There will be plenty of room for parking. We are asking for all buses to drop their teams off at the designated drop off area and park in the far back parking lot. All spectators will have a $5 parking fee. Spectators will park near the course.  No spectators will be allowed to park in the lot designated for buses.

Camps

Team camps will be set up next to the tennis courts at MGCCC. We are asking for all teams to camp within this half mile area so that no one blocks the course. It will also allow for a high energy environment to propel runners to a PR. Please make sure your camp is clean when you leave. We want to be able to use this location for future meets. Bathrooms will be located in the rec building, next to the tennis courts and team areas.
