We plan to rabbit the races for at least 800 meters at an agreed upon pace, predetermined by participating coaches and/or runners.
The Kentucky Dream Mile will also be run as part of the North Hardin Invitational. Thus, if your team is running at North Hardin on Saturday, May 8, 2010, the combination will count as one meet towards your team’s overall meet total.
We will be accepting entries starting today, Saturday, April, 17, 2010 and running through Sunday, May 2, 2010. We will announce the fields for the races on Monday, May 3, 2010.
