We will be limiting the field to 25 schools.
Reserve your teams spot now by emailing Coach Switzer at lbxcbruins@gmail.com
The race will be run on multiple surfaces with some hills. (Flats recommended over spikes) Each runner will run a 2500 meter loop. The course is quite spectator friendly. WHY SHOULD WE RUN THIS EVENT?: It is a fresh break from the traditional CC format. It is also a low maintenance coaching event. Great access to athletes and no need to deal with formal entries.
We ask each coach to send Coach Switzer a note on Thursday before the event with an approximate number of extra racers per gender so we can balance the sections. COST: $200/school -- unlimited entrants.
Checks made out to: Lake Braddock Boosters c/o LBSS Cross Country 9200 Burke Lake Rd Burke, VA 22015.
