Meet Information
The meet will be held at Mountain View School on Route 200. The school parking lot is one-way; for those approaching from Route 1 (probably all visiting teams), the entrance is your second entrance on the left.
Buses (and vans) should unload and park in front of the school on the RIGHT-HAND side next to the building. Please pull all the way forward to allow room for all. Parents and other spectators can park out back by taking the righthand turn before the school, but go slowly as the pavement is a little bumpy. Additional car parking is also available out front on the LEFT-HAND side next to the front lawn.
This course will be a true 5k in distance (3 miles + 564 feet) and includes terrain from well-maintained grass to root-strewn trails to hard-packed dirt roads to coarse-mowed grassy paths and includes some stretches over pavement and bare bedrock. Spikes are not recommended due to the bedrock.
Each athlete will be assigned a bib #. Finish times and placements will be recorded by hand as each athlete finishes.
There will be two Porta-Pottys available, but no building access.
We will have water available to refill your athletes bottles (water cups not likely), as well as plenty of freeze pops for everyone after their race.
At 12pm, we will recognize the 7 seniors on SMHS XC, followed by the races at 12:10pm.
Girls will run first, and the boys race will begin 5 minutes after the end of the girls race.
Spectators who stay on the soccer field will see all athletes pass by four times throughout the race (start, finish, and two other times).
We will have a course sweeper for each race.
Team scores (top 5 score for a team, top 7 can displace) will be announced, and awards will be given to the top 5 runners in each of the boys and girls races.
