Timing:        Timing will be administered by Palatine Pack.  Results will be posted on                    Athletic.net immediately after the starter approves them. 

Course:        The course is two or three, flat, 1-mile loops.  There are numerous turns, but the                course will be very well marked.  The course does pass over an asphalt access                road, so shorter spikes are recommended.   Here is the Course Map Link.

Awards:        The top 10 finishers in each race will receive a t-shirt.

Warm-Ups /        Warm-ups and cool-downs can be completed on the track, or athletes can use    Cool-Downs:    the path that extends south from high school.  We ask that athletes avoid                    running in the parking lot for safety reasons. 

Drop Off /        Athletes should be dropped off at the main entrance or east entrance of the    Parking:        stadium.  Buses should then park on the south side of the main building.                    Spectator parking is allowed in any spot on the north and west side of the main                building. 

Team Camps:    Shade is at a premium, so a tent may be appropriate.  Teams can use the                    inside of the track / bleachers for their team camp.  There is a gate that opens                from the track to the start area.  

Spectators        Spectators are available to be on campus at no charge.  We ask that all                    spectators be mindful of the runner's path.  Please stay out of the running area                until all racers have finished the race.   

Miscellaneous:    There will be Athletic Trainers on site.  They will supply ice and treatment for the 

           athletes.  Ice / water  will also be provided at the end of each race for the athletes            only.

 

Concessions will NOT be available for spectators.  

Locker rooms will NOT be available for use.   

Porta-potties and our stadium restrooms will be available for athletes, coaches,        and spectators.
