The Course: The course will begin on Saint Yon’s intramural field and will quickly head into the bluff trail system and finish back on Saint Yon’s intramural field. The course is almost entirely grass with very few dirt/gravel paths. It is a challenging course with many hill ascents and descents and a couple of tight corners. However, it is well shaded and a beautiful course to run.

Eighth runner and above and open runners will be thrown out for scoring purposes. The same scoring will apply to alumni runners as does with teams, however open runners will not be scored as a team.
Awards: We will not be doing an awards ceremony this year, but results should be immediately available for you to take with you.
Facilities: There will be limited restrooms at the start/finish area, so we recommend that if possible, use the Gostomski Fieldhouse/Toner Student Center Restroom and so we don’t overburden the on-site facilities. Showers will be available in Gostomski Fieldhouse locker rooms after competition. Some lockers may be available, but are unsecured.
Trainers: Certified trainers will be available 1 hour prior to the first race. Please bring own first aid supplies that your team will be using.
Team Parking: Due to the small parking lot next to the start/finish area, we are asking that team buses and vans park in either the Visitor Lot or Yellow Lot, next to the baseball field and Paige Theatre.
