Tents: There will be a parking designated area behind the starting line where teams can set up their tents.

Coaches Meeting: Upon arrival, you can pick up your coach's packet from the blue check-in tent, which will include your athletes' bib numbers and course maps. There will be a brief coaches meeting at the starting line at 9:30 AM to go over logistics and draw for box assignments.

Course: This is a looped course, run almost entirely on grass, with a brief road crossing. There is a ~300m, very gradual hill about 3/4 mile into the race, which runners will climb once on each loop. Outside of that, this is a relatively flat and fast course. It's very spectator friendly!

 

We look forward to seeing you on October 21st! Please reach out to Coach Blake Stevens at 304-541-8796 or Blake.stevens@igniteathletics.org with any questions.
