Dear Coach or Athletic Director:
The Run 804 Track High School Invitational 2023 is one of a few invitationals that offer an opportunity to compete on a collegiate rubberized track surface with an opportunity to be seen by many collegiate track coaches. All Virginia public and private schools are invited to compete at Varina High School, home of Junior Olympic qualifying meets and summer series invitational and classic track meets.
Facilities- Varina High School's Track was completely collegiately resurfaced and redone. In addition, there has been added a brand new pole vault pit, an eight-lane rubberized track, long jump, shot, and discus areas, and two high jump areas. Fully Automated Timing will be provided by Final Lap Timing Group. There is enough space for canopies and tents to be placed on the outside of the stands.
Location- Conveniently located in the Richmond Metropolitan area with access from Interstate 64 East and West, Interstate 95 North and South, Route 288 North and South, as well as Route 295 North and South, it enables convenient to travel from all over the state.
Admission-$5.00 for spectators (ALL VHSL Passes will be ACCEPTED)
Concessions/Vendors- Will be available on-site.
Experienced Staff and Atmosphere- USATF officials who have experience in each of their respective events for numerous years will be on hand. They have more than a decade of experience and will ensure fairness and competitiveness while enforcing regulations and warning athletes of improper conduct. The atmosphere of the facility and staff include a concession stand and vendors that serve food all day at the meet, and clean restrooms. Results will be available live through www.milesplit.live by Final Lap Timing Group (https://www.finallaptiminggroup.com/). Current VHSL Covid protocols will be followed at the meet.
Affordability- Run 804 Track Invitational understands how tight some school and track program's budgets can be, but we also want student-athletes to receive ample opportunities to qualify for district, regional, and state competition. The cost of our meet is $150 for one team/gender and $250 for two teams/genders. Individuals are $25/person, with four or more athletes constituting a team. (Individuals must represent a high school.
