Course Map:

The course is and out and back with a loop in the middle kilometer; the first and third kilometers are the same ground covered in opposite directions. There will be a crossing guard at the crosswalk on Railroad Ave. As with most of the terrain in Bedford, the course is flat.

Meet Information:

• Weather forecast: mostly sunny, temperatures in the low to mid 70s with light west 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 warmup clothes to wear besides your uniform.
• If you're wearing spiked shoes it would be best to have 1/8th inch elements or blanks, as there are stretches of pavement on the course.

• You'll need to wear your assigned bib number for DCL meets. After your race and before you leave, please return this bib number to the ziploc bag that holds the bib numbers and safety pins.
• There's no team scoring at this meet.

• There will be a course tour sometime soon after we arrive. I may be the person leading this tour.

 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:

• It's a quick stroll from the baseball field where the course starts and finishes to Railroad Ave where the runners pass by near the beginning and end of the race.
