Dear Coaches:
Thank you for choosing to attend the Black River League
Conference Cross Country Meet 2021!This
year's race will be held Wednesday, October 6th at Ellington high
school campus with the start and finish lines located in the front parking lot
of the high school.The course will
consist of a 2-lap format for the varsity races, a 2-abreviated lap (2 mile) junior
high course and a 1-abreviated lap (1 mile) elementary race with a mixture of
pavement, gravel, and grass.Our grounds
crew have kept the mowing of the course current again over the summer, making
for a much better grass-base for the hilly portion of the course. The course is
very hilly, but does gives the runners a variety of challenges .A large part of our course still involves
private property which local owners have graciously allowed us to utilize.Please help us to keep it clean and ask your
runners and spectators to avoid cutting through neighboring homes' yards and
the local cemetery located along one side of a portion of the course.
We also ask your bus drivers to park along the playground
located on the west side of the old gym as you first come to campus.This should give your runners easy access to
the start/finish line from your buses and should help to keep campus congestion
to a minimum.Concessions will be
available for purchase in the commons area of the Gym. Tents can be set up in
the grassy area in front of the school if you choose to do so.We ask that you continue to be mindful
of social distancing guidelines and encourage your fans/athletes to do so as
much as possible.
Timing will be handled by ActNow Promotions.Registration can be done on the Mo.Mile split
website similar to many other meets so far this season.Please register your athletes in a timely
fashion to help avoid any delays created on race day.
The events of the day will be as follows:
