To register athletes, you must first "add a team" within each race, then you can add individual runners. This setting allows larger schools to add multiple teams.
Course: The course we have at the Trimble County Park is a true cross country course. We have flat grass sections, hills, a small creek crossing, and a long woods section offering heavy shade. Races start at the bottom of the football/soccer fields. The last 800m of each race will go around the football/soccer fields and go around and through tent city before the finish.
Our course is spectator friendly allowing parents and coaches to see about 2/3 of the race.
Entry: All entries will be done on Ky-Milesplit online registration on the meet page.
Max of 10 runners per team per race- you can enter multiple teams in every race. Runners may only compete in 1 race.
