Race Day Instructions - Coaches and Runners
Tent Setup Instructions!
Runners must wear the BIB that has been assigned to them. Runners not wearing BIBs, or the correct BIB, will not be counted in the results. The BIBS are a key part of the timing and scoring. It only takes one runner to not follow the rules and it mess up the time and place for all runners finishing after him/her.
Do NOT remove the pull tag from the bottom of the BIB before or during the race. The pull tag is removed by a race official after a runner finishes and it is used to identify the runner's finishing place and finishing time in the race.
BIBS are valid for one race and runners can run in at most one race.
At the start of a race, if any runner falls in approximately the first 100 meters of the race, the race starter will fire the gun a second time (or blow the whistle) and the race will be restarted.
Special Runner Instructions:
Runner's caught cheating or cutting the course will be disqualified
After finishing, runners should maintain finish order and keep moving through the finish chute.
Do NOT hang on the ropes in the finish chute. They were not designed to support the weight of people.
Do NOT leave the finish chute until the end and after a race official has removed the pull tag from your bib and placed it on the stringer.
Awards & Results
Team Scoring Methodolody - Cross Country displacement scoring will be used for team scoring. In summary, 5 or more runners are needed to count in team scoring. A school with less than 5 runners does not count in the team scoring. The top 5 runners count towards your team's total. Runners 6 and 7 act as pushers for other team's runners. Runner 8+ do not count in team scoring.
Individual awards will be given to the top 15 runners in each race.
Team Trophies will be awarded to the top 3 teams in the 1.5 and 2 mile races. No team trophies will be awarded for the 1 mile races.
