Timing: Races will be scored using Hy-Tek. We will also have a backup scoring system.

Scoring: For a team to count in the scoring, they must have at least 5 runners finish. The 6th and 7th runners will be counted as pushers. A 6th runner will be used as a tiebreaker. The team with the best 6th place finisher shall prevail. KHSAA tie breaking rules will be used! If all technology works right, we will have results available for all coaches.

KHSAA: All athletes and coaches shall follow the rules set forth by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. This includes Middle School!

*Admission is free. Concessions and short-sleeve T-Shirts will be available for purchase.

Entries: There will be unlimited entries in all races! Each Varsity team may enter 10 runners as the designated official team * but must be declared before the race.* All extra runners get to count as a race and will be able to earn awards, but will not be scored as a second team or score for the first team. PLEASE declare on your entries the grades of your runners (necessary for records purposes) and whether they are competing in Elementary School , Middle School, or Varsity.

*Elementary Race athletes must be in the 5th grade and under!
