Silver Spring, MD 20901

First 8 coaches who get their registration check in get to run the open 5K free!

Be sure to have all entries registered here https://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/Results/Meet.aspx?Meet=108523 by October 10 when I must send them in to Maryland Timing so he can produce the chips. Please do not register runners who will not run.

You will receive a flyer to share with middle school coaches in an effort to get their runners out. Please post the site to any community outreach you have http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/northwoodhs/athletics/consortia.aspx

Concessions and t-shirts/sweatshirts will be available for purchase.

The schedule below is what we ran last year and I got a lot of positive feedback, as opposed to high school runners running first early in the morning. It is tentative, so if youve read this much of the email and want to let me know any difficulties you have with the schedule, they will be taken under consideration. Please contact michael_t_sauter@mcpsmd.org with any comments or ideas.
