See Map.  DO NOT place camps in the finish area, around our Maintenance (Brown) Building, or Greenhouse.

Bus Parking:  Please drop your students off in the course area then park buses on the EAST or NORTH side of the school, see Map.

Roster & Wrist Bands: Please check your roster.  If there are major mistakes, please let me know immediately.  You do not need to report someone not participating.  Match the number of the wrist band to the name and number on your roster.  Make sure the wrist band is tight enough so that it does not fall off during the race and that the NUMBER faces out so we can easily see the assigned number as the athletes walk through the chute.  Girls are wearing pink or gold and the boys are wearing blue.

The Course:  The course is around the perimeter of the school grounds and is roped.  Please remind spectators to remain behind the ropes during the race, especially in the finish area.
