Bus Time: 1 PM. You should leave school in time to change before getting on the bus, i.e. around 12:45. This time is near the end of fourth period; teachers have been provided a list of students who are attending the meet and you should touch base with your 4th period teacher before Friday to let them know you'll need to leave early that day. You are of course responsible for any work missed that day in the final class periods.

Meet Information:
• Weather forecast: Cloudy, temperatures in the low 60s with light winds from the north around 5 mph.
• All races except for the 9th grade race will be run on the 5k course. The 9th grade race will be run on the 3k course which is the first two loops of the 5k without the third loop in the Wilderness.
• Upon our arrival, once we've found a spot for our bags, Coach Mayall will lead a jog/walk tour of the Wildnerness loop for those athletes who are racing 5k and have never been to Franklin Park before. Note we won't be covering the entire course, just the Wilderness loop which is the third mile of the 5k. This is where athletes have gotten lost in the past.
• Race protocol:
a. Runners must report to the start line 10 minutes prior to start
b. Runners will be asked to remove sweats 5 minutes prior to start
c. Runners will be warned with one minute prior to start and again at 30 seconds
d. Command for start will be “Runners Set” and then the horn or starters pistol
• Awards will be given to the top 15 finishers in the varsity race, the top 8 JV finishers, and the top 7 9th graders.
• Face paint and hats are not allowed.
• If this is your final meet of the season, bring an extra change of clothes and after we return to Wayland you can change out of your uniform in the field house and return it to one of the coaches.
What to bring:
• uniform
• everyday training shoes
• racing shoes if you have them
• 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). If you're running in a later race, bring a snack to have when we first arrive at the park to tide you over until your race.
• folding chair if you want something to sit on while changing shoes
• blanket to lie on under the team tent
Information for Parents:
• The course starts and finishes between White Stadium and Pierpont Road, just north of the zoo. Parking is available at the corner of Pierpont and Circuit Drive, as well as at other lots on Circuit Drive and along the side of Circuit Drive as well. While there is parking along Pierpont right next to the zoo, it's doubtful these spaces will be open to the public and if they are they'll fill up first.
• The race can be seen multiple times from the small rise just beyond the finish line. Binoculars come in handy when viewing the racers from the other side of the field.
• Snacks are welcome, but due to allergy concerns the Athletic Director has asked that any snacks be individually wrapped and ideally have the ingredients written on the label.
• We hope to be back at WHS by around 7 PM.
