Meet Information:
• Weather forecast: mostly cloudy, temperatures in the low to mid 50s with SSW
winds around 10-15 mph. The temperature and wind combination make it incumbent upon athletes to have adequate warmups and to wear them before and after racing.
• The varsity and JV 5k course has three loops; the first loop starts on the Playstead field
and goes around these fields and White Stadium. The second loop goes part of the way around the fields and stadium before heading away from the field loop for a climb up and over
Bear Cage Hill. On the other side of Bear Cage Hill the second loop rejoins terrain covered on the first loop again. The third loop covers the Wilderness and Playstead
field.
• The 9th grade race incorporates the first two of three loops shown on the maps below.
• The top 15 finishers in each varsity race, the top 8 JV and the top 7 9th graders will receive trophies.
• In the past, athletes from various DCL schools (including Wayland) have gotten lost in the third loop of the course. This section is labeled "The Wilderness" on the map below. While this part of the course will surely be well marked, it's a good idea to check it out during your warmup jog if you're running the 5k course.
• 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.
• Return time to WHS is approximate, but we hope to be back between 6:00
and 7:00 depending on traffic
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

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 this spot repeatedly.
