Dual Meet #2 - at Concord-Carlisle HS, 9/27/17

Meet Site: Concord Carlisle High School, 500 Walden Street, Concord

Bus leaves at 2:30
Boys race 4:15 PM unless you hear different from me
Girls race approx. 4:45


There will be two races--boys will precede girls. I'd like to get everyone's mile split, which will be tricky especially on the boys side with everyone in one race. It would be helpful if you remember your mile split which will be called out as you run past.

Course Map: 




The course is 2.6 miles long (our home course is 2.9 for comparison). The woods loop and field loop are separated by a ridge, with a hill that's fairly steep but relatively short.

Meet Information:

• Weather forecast: Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of rain with temperatures in the low 80s. Winds from the SSW 5-10 mph. Bring clothes to wear at the meet besides your uniform. In addition, bring a plastic bag to keep your clothes and bag dry when not being worn.
It's expected that during the race you will wear the full uniform assigned to you. This includes jersey and shorts.
• You'll need to wear your assigned bib number which is the same number you wore in last week's home meet . After your race and before you leave, please return this bib number to the ziploc bag that holds the bib numbers and safety pins, which is in turn kept inside the large red duffel bag.
• There will be a course tour sometime soon after we arrive but no earlier than 3:15.

 What to Bring:

• uniform
• everyday training shoes
• racing shoes if you have them
• warmup clothes
• sunscreen
• plastic bag to store clothes and backpack/duffel bag
• water bottle - including a larger (24-32 oz.) bottle if you have one
• snacks for post-race (chocolate milk will be provided using proceeds from the Wayland XC Festival)

for parents:

• The best place to watch the race is on and around the upper field where the race begins and ends. See map above.

• Parking behind the school building near the upper field is very tight. Your best bet if you're coming to the meet to watch is to park in front of the school in the main parking lot.
