9/12: XC race tomorrow

XC parents-

Just a couple of reminders about our first 2K race tomorrow at 8:30 am.

First, we are big believers in starting on time and ending on time. So when we say the race is at 8:30 am, that means we are saying the word "Go" at 8:30 or maybe 8:31. Everyone needs to get there a few minutes early to line up, and ideally 10-15 minutes early to warm up with coaches. If you are a parent, sibling, or friend who is running the race, you need to get there early to sign the waiver. Program athletes do not need to sign the waiver.

Second, the 2K race start line is near the porta-pottie near the entrance to the woods. The athletes will do a loop of the park, enter the woods, do a loop in the woods, and then come back out to the park, where they will do a half-loop, ending next to the tennis courts.

Third, we will have our last opportunity on Saturday to buy a uniform ($12 cash or check made out to Longmeadow Parks and Recreation). Athletes should wear their uniform for the race.

Fourth, once your athlete finishes the race, they are free to go. We should be all done by 9:00, and you can head off to the rest of your weekend activities.
