SATURDAY:
For Saturday dinner, we are working on options that will accommodate our group, and will make an announcement when we have more details . We know there are some families leaving on Saturday afternoon that won't be able to join us for dinner, but if you are around until Sunday, please join us. If you plan to join for dinner on Saturday, please fill out the sign-up below. This will help us gauge how big of a restaurant/venue we will be looking at.
SATURDAY DINNER SIGN-UP
Athlete Number Pick-Up
Coaches will pick up our team packet and numbers on Thursday. We will plan to have a team meeting on Friday morning at 11:00 AM at the Hampton Inn (BTC Hotel) and will pass out race numbers then. We will accept payment for Friday Team Dinner at that time (see below for more info). After the team meeting we will depart from the hotel for the course preview. We will aim to leave at 12:00pm for course preview on Friday.
Weather Forecast
The weather for Friday and Saturday look to be a little cold! The lows for both days are 28 and 10 degrees with a chance of snow for Saturday. Let’s make sure we are packing layers! Highs are forecasted to be in the mid 30s. Make sure you pack your jackets, pants and warm clothes. We suggest packing gloves or other materials that you will not care if you lose them. Often kids start races in layers and become warm so if they have gloves they know they can toss off, that is generally helpful.
Live Race Results and USATF.TV Streaming
Live results will be available on the event webpage. Official results will be available at the course. A live stream will be broadcast at USATF.TV. If you have a USATF+ account, you can watch the broadcast here.
Course Maps and Starting Box
All course maps for 2k, 3k and 4k races and the table of the starting boxes can be found here.
Coaches will take care of getting the athletes to the right spot. The table is a little confusing. We are Region 13 so look for the "13" in the grid for each age group for our starting box.
