Bus Time: 2:30 PM, note the bus time
First race no earlier than 4:15 PM but in all likelihood not until 4:30 at the earliest; start time is dependent on the arrival of both Wayland and CCHS teams to the meet site
No separate JV races, there will be a girls race followed by a boys race
Meet Information:
• Weather forecast: partly sunny, temperatures in the high 60s with light N winds 5-10 mph.
• The race course will be the standard Franklin Park 5k layout. There's a link to the course map in the "Maps" sidebar to the right. STUDY THIS MAP particularly the three overlapping loops that comprise the course.
• In the past, athletes from various DCL schools (including Wayland) have gotten lost in the third loop of the course which is also the third mile. This area is labeled "The Wilderness" on the map below. Upon arrival, the coaches will be leading tours of this part of the course so you won't get lost.
• After running your race and catching your breath, be sure to do a thorough cooldown jog of 15-20 minutes. My suggestion for the cool down is to run the first 3k of the course, which is the first two loops on the map above.
• Return time to WHS is approximate, but we hope to be back between 6:30 and 7:00 depending on traffic and what time the first race starts.
What to bring:
• uniform
• everyday training shoes
• racing shoes if you have them
• warmup clothes
• 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:
• There's a small parking lot at the corner of Circuit Drive and Pierpont Road; there's also a larger lot further down Circuit Drive, as well as on-street parking on Circuit Drive.
• If you're going to be at the meet and would like to take your child with you when their race is over, please let one of the coaches know.
• The area just beyond the finish line is a good spot to see the race at various points as the runners pass by repeatedly.
