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.
