Wednesday, October 11th, we have our all-city meet at Seward Park. The race times are the same as previous meets (3:30, 4:00, and 4:30).
The start and finish on the course at Seward Park are at the highest elevation level of the park. The start is near the amphitheater. You can either park down below and walk up the hill, or you can wind your way up to the top and park near the start. The finish is off the road on the main trail a little ways–about 200 meters from the start.
See you there.
Several people have asked about the race schedule for the league and district meets. I will post more information about them later. However, here are the times of the races. Remember that everyone runs in the League meet, but only the top seven boys and girls run at districts.
The All-City meet was scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 12th. Due to conflicts with Seward Park, we had to change the meet to Wednesday, Oct. 11th. The races times are the same. Spread the word.
