Course Map:

The course begins on Harding Field, the turf field just down the hill from the high school building. Upon exiting the field, runners climb the hill on Jacks Way before entering the woods on the left. The course then follows a loop in the woods (pay attention on the tour to which trail is the course and which trails are not). This loop is covered two times for the short course and three times for the longer course. The course then returns to Jacks Way and then Harding Field where the race finishes, all in the reverse direction of the early stages of the race.

Meet Information:

• Weather forecast: Mostly sunny, temperatures in the high 60s with W winds 5-10 mph. Bring clothes to wear at the meet besides your uniform. You won't be allowed on the bus if you don't have clothes besides your uniform.
• The Waltham coach reports that the course is not suitable for spike elements in your racing shoes. If you have spiked racing shoes the spike elements should be replaced with blanks or 1/8" pyramids. If you wore longer spike elements in your racing shoes this past weekend at Wrentham, remove them Tuesday evening before going to bed. Do not wait until the bus ride Wednesday, after we arrive at Waltham, etc.
• You'll need to wear your assigned bib number which is the same number you wore in last week's 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. The ziploc bag is in turn kept inside the large red duffel bag.
• There will be a course tour sometime soon after we arrive. Pay attention to the loop in the woods as there are various side trails that are not used in the race course.

 What to Bring:

• uniform
• everyday training shoes
• racing shoes if you have them
• warmup clothes
• 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:

• Harding Field where the course starts and finishes is down the hill from the parking lot next to the school building.
