1. Our course is at High Point Farm: 23730 Frederick Rd, Clarksburg, MD 20871. Since it is a private business, they can be fickle about some things. Please make sure your athletes are not touching or climbing on anything they are not supposed to be on.

2. Attached is the Course Map. If you have been here before, the course is fairly the same with a new back portion on trails between mile 1.25-1.75-ish. The course is rolling with a big hill from mile 1.75-ish to 2.

3. Please Check the Map: There are two pavilion areas and fields that you may set up your stuff. The last time I talked to the managers at High Point there was no other event that day so it should be wide open for us. I will let you know if that changes and we have to stay away from an area which might happen.

4. Buses: If you plan on bringing a bus, they may enter through the main entrance for drop off (across from Little Bennett). There will be a sign directing the buses to where they can drop off. Buses should be able to pick up athletes on site once they are done making their routes.

5. Parking: If you have athletes driving up and parents coming, they MUST park and drop off kids in the lower field. They SHOULD NOT enter at the main entrance. As they come up 355 North, they will see a chalkboard sign on their left directing them where to park. TELL YOUR PARENTS TO IGNORE THE EXIT ONLY SIGN. We had some issues with this at the Coyote Run last week. There is a left turning lane across from Snowden Farm Parkway. If they go to the main entrance (Across from Little Bennett), they went too far and need to turn around. If I remember, I will get a balloon or two and put it on the sign. Please check the map for the location of parking and drop off. SHARE this with your teams/parents. They should not follow their GPS. It will take them to the Main Entrance!

6. Bathrooms: There will be porta-potties available.

7. Water and Ice: We are off-campus so we do not have direct access to ice and water. Please bring your own.

8. Trainer: Our Trainer will be on hand for this meet.

9. Kona Ice will be available as of now. That might change if the weather does not cooperate

10. Early Look at the Course: As of right now, you will NOT be able to get on the course before meet day. I am trying to find a time all the teams can come up but if I cannot, DO NOT just show up one day to run on the course. This is a private business and it is considered trespassing. They may have events going on that they do not want disturbed. For example, they sometimes have security forces do training on the grounds; i.e. gunfire and small explosions. We would like to continue to use this facility in the future.
