Timing
-We will be using chip timing again this year. Chips will be located on the back of race bib, so please do not bend or fold the race numbers because this may damage the chips. Race results will be posted as soon as they are available and all results will be sent to MileStat at the conclusion of the meet.
Check-in Table
-The check-in table will be located behind the starting line. This is where you will pick up your packet and make any race day changes. Please avoid going near the finish line with your chips so the timing system does not read them prior to the start of your race.
Switching Races
-You will be able to move athletes to a different race after registration ends. If you have any changes prior to Saturday, please email Matt Gutridge at cmgutridge@wm.edu.
-Race day changes may be made at the check-in table, but we ask that you please try to email any changes in advance so we can limit the number of race day changes.
Liability Waiver
-Each team must have a liability waiver signed by the coach or athletic director. If you have not sent this in advance, you will be asked to sign the waiver when you pick up your packet. Sending this in advance will expedite check-in.
Parking
-Event Staff will be assisting with parking throughout the meet. Spectators and teams will not be allowed to park in the lot near the finish line because those spots will be reserved for Event Staff.
Starting Line
-There will be no boxes or assigned positions on the starting line. The starter will organize the groups prior to the start of the race.
