⏰ ARRIVE EARLY
Parking and traffic will get hectic at certain times. The faster vehicles can be processed, the better traffic will move for everyone.
There will also be approximately 20 food trucks on site. Come early, grab some food, walk the course and enjoy the atmosphere.
Parents, please be prepared for the bus to return pretty late tomorrow evening. We will communicate once we are heading back toward Copley.
Trust your training. Trust your teammates. Don't spend the day worrying about a time or result.
Run tough when it gets uncomfortable. Find teammates. Pass people. Fight for every place.
Believe in the work you've done.
Be excellent in the process.
