The time in parentheses after each race is the cutoff for that race. Athletes who don't make the cutoff won't be recorded in the official results.

Course Map:

• The main loop of the course is indicated by the blue line on the map. The novice and 9th grade races run this loop twice, the 5k races cover the loop three times. The red line on the map is the initial run off the starting line; the yellow line is the final run to the finish line.

• Part of the loop is paved, which may influence your spike element length choice. Check the course beforehand.

• The loop passes through two barns.

Meet Information:

• Weather forecast: Clear, temperatures in the low 60s upon arrival, dropping to the high 50s by 7 PM. E Winds 5-10 mph.
• The top 25 finishers in each race win medals, which will be given out in the chute.
• MSTCA will be using Chip timing. Athletes who are not competing and are by the finish line should not be wearing their bib with tag because it can be picked up by the transmitter. This will cause issues in recording places.

What to bring (IMPORTANT):

• uniform
• everyday training shoes
• racing shoes if you have them
• full set of warmup clothes including: long sleeved shirt, pants, windbreaker, gloves, hat
• water bottle
• snacks for post-race (chocolate milk will be provided using proceeds from the Wayland XC Festival)
• folding chair
• blanket to lie on under the team tent
• flashlight/headlamp
DINNER for before or after your race. We won't be leaving the meet until sometime after 10 PM. There is food for sale at the meet if that's your type of thing; otherwise I'd recommend preparing something in advance and bringing it with you in a small cooler or lunch bag. 

Information for Parents:

• Parking cost was $5 per carload in 2019, it might have increased since. Carpooling is suggested.
• Dogs and grills are prohibited. As are drones, so leave those at home.
• With the twisting curvy nature of the course loop there are various spots where you can stand in one place and see the race pass by your position multiple times.
