Meet Information:

• Weather forecast: partly cloudy, temperatures in the low to mid 70s NNE winds 5-10 mph.

• The varsity and JV 5k course has three loops; the first loop starts on the Playstead field and goes around the ball fields and White Stadium. The second loop goes part of the way around the fields and stadium before heading away from the field area for a climb up and over Bear Cage Hill. On the other side of Bear Cage Hill the second loop rejoins the first loop, behind the area of the starting line. The third loop covers the Wilderness and Playstead field. See maps below.

• The 9th grade race course is the first two of the three loops described above and 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.

• Wayland will be in box #4 at the starting line.

• 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
• 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

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 either in person or via e-mail.
• The area just beyond the finish line is a good place to see the race at various points, as the runners pass by this spot repeatedly.
