Bring money for shirt purchase if you wish to do so.
Have food/drinks, but bring money if you want to purchase food at meet- typically choices are not appropriate before the race, but fine for after the race.
DON’T bring valuable items. If you have something of value (like a phone) put it in your bag hidden, inside the tent.
Hydrate and fuel appropriately.
Listen on the walkthrough or course explanation from coaches- there’s LOTS of teams/athletes around so it’s easy to get distracted.
Coaches will distribute timing bibs/chips at a designated time/location in advance of all races. Bibs you can keep but timing chips must be returned after the race. Timing companies issue fines when timing chips are NOT returned at end of race.
Have a pair of shoes/socks to walk the course, and a 2nd pair of shoes/spikes and socks to race, and flip flops/slides to wear post race.
Wear your uniform that was given to you in the race. Anything not given to you by coaches MUST be approved by us or starter won’t let you race.
If you are leaving with a parent at the meet, you MUST check out with a Coach. This helps speed up exit of the meet for the entire team. Don’t tell another athlete you are leaving, see a coach to do this. Plus you must have a parent/administrator signed note given to the coaches.
