Meet Information
THE BRENTVILLE CROSS COUNTRY
RELAYS – 'under the lights'
******************************
I encourage you to give this meet a try! Last year's race was awesome -- it featured over 60 teams and the runners had a great time! This relay format really promotes a fun/team oriented atmosphere. WE BRING IN PORTABLE LIGHTING AND LIGHT OUR ENTIRE CC COURSE!!!!!
The race will be run on a Cross Country Course consisting of slight hills and grass and dirt trails. Each runner will run a 2500 meter loop. The course is quite spectator friendly.
WHAT: 5x2500 meter relay. Each school enters teams of 5 runners. Each runner runs a 2500 meter leg and then hands off the baton to their teammate.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO COACHES
********************************
Our facility can accommodate approximately 60 teams. We have received a National Sanction and have received considerable interest from out of state teams. The first 60 teams to submit payment will be accepted.
Simply because you attended the event last year does NOT mean you will be accepted this year. Already, well over 60 teams have expressed an interest in attending. Any team that attended the 2006 Relays and submits payment by Aug. 1 will automatically be accepted..
The race fee is $135 (checks are made payable to Brentsville) and you may submit it now. Because of the cost of lighting our course we can only submit a 50% refund if the event is cancelled due to inclement weather (i.e. thunderstorms and lightning).
Again, the first 60 teams to submit payment will be accepted. In addition to submitting payment, please return the enclosed form. Any team wishing to attend once we reach our 60 team cap will be denied entry. We will NOT hold spots for any teams.
Run With Your Dreams,
Coach Rob Dulin
