Dear Parents:
Please read and discuss these tips with your children.
Please keep your race number that is issued in
your packet in a safe place. You will need to bring
this number to all five races.
Race morning, pin it to the front of your shirt with
one pin by the "gotta run" slogan at the bottom so it
doesn't flap up when you run.
We will have a new scoring system this year. The
barcode tab will take place of the white finish line
cards. You have five barcodes (one for each race) on
your race number. A worker will tear off one
barcode tab when you cross the finish line. In order
to get credit for the race and to determine the
correct finish time, stay in the line until they come to
you. Don't tear it off yourself and hand it in.
We've decided to try some afternoon runs this year.
Please mark your calendar with the correct race
day, place, and time.
Have a light breakfast at least an hour before you
run. You do want energy but don't want to overload
your system.
Layer your clothing so that if you get hot, you can
shed something. Remember, even on a cool day, you
will get hot when you run.
Please arrive early enough to find parking, find the
start line, then mill about to cheer others on. We
will not start one age group without the last one
finishing.
Via the PA system, we will call age groups to gather
for warming up.
Drinks and snacks are available at the end of the
race for the racers only.
Relax and have fun! You are a winner just for
running!
