Elementary: Since we haven't had a ton of practices, please make a decision if your child will race. The distance is 1 mile (you can see the info below)

Try to get to the meet at least 45 min to an hour before your race just to be sure you are on time, warmup, stretch and check out the course.
BRING PLENTY OF WATER. A COOLER WITH A WET RAG/ICE COULD BE A GOOD IDEA AS WELL.
