Starting line:
- Runners cannot report to the start line until 10 min before the start. They may do warm up strides and drills in the adjacent field.
- We will be running 2 races. Each race will have 4 waves. There will be 4 lines designating the starting position for each wave. The color of the runner’s wrist band will correspond with the starting point for the race: green = wave 1, yellow = wave 2, orange = wave 3, blue = wave 4.
- Runners shall line up 6 feet apart on their assigned wave line. Starts will be separated by 15 seconds. Finishing times will be adjusted for each wave.
- Masks will be worn until 30 sec before the race start. Runners should hold their masks so they have access to them at the finish or if they feel a need to use them during the race.
- Only athletes and coaches allowed at start area.
Racing:
- Runners should do their best to not run directly next to, in front of, or behind someone within reason.
- Runners should run through the chute and disperse from the finish line immediately after the race. We will have workers to facilitate this process.
After the Race:
- Runners will be afforded 20 minutes to complete a cool down. That cool down should not be done on any part of the course that would impede the runners of the next race.
- After the girls have completed their assigned races and cool down, they are permitted to watch the boys race by spreading out throughout the course, masks on, 6 feet distanced from each other, with no gathering within 100 yards of the start or finish areas for the course.
- After the boys have completed their race and cool down, teams should immediately board buses and leave.
Results and Scoring:
- As the times will be manually adjusted for waves – the individual scores will likely not be posted for several hours/next morning.
- The results will be posted at xctiming.com.
