Students will be marshaled to the starting line approximately 15 minutes before their race. At this time the team will warm up, give extra clothes to the parent volunteer in charge and listen to any last-minute instructions. Please check all shoelaces and make sure they are double knotted. Race officials will be spread out along the course to help you if you need it. If someone else needs help, don’t stop, just let an official know that someone requires assistance and keep running your race
Run your own race, be strong and HAVE FUN! We are very proud of you, your commitment to training and your desire to do the best you can do.
