Dear Coaches:

Thank you for choosing to attend our Fifth Annual Ellington

Cross Country Meet 2022!This year's

race will be held Wednesday, September 28th 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.The course will be similar to

last year if you attended.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.

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.
