There will be marshals at all intersections, however understanding the course can help in running a faster race. The course is 5000 meters/3.1 miles with 100% grass.

Scoring: All runners must display race bib number on the front-center location of a uniform top. Scoring will be in accordance with NFHS rules: A runner's numerical score corresponds to his or her finish order in a race. The top seven finishers from each team in a race will be considered for placement with the top five runners from each team used for the final score. Ties will be resolved by comparing the times of the sixth finisher.
Awards: Trophies for the top two teams in each of the Varsity divisions. Medals to the top 15 finishers in each of the Varsity races. Medals to the top 10 finishers in each of the JV races.
