We hope everyone has defrosted from our meet today!  Here is some important information regarding the Carlisle Invitational and our final away meet at Hanscom (Lincoln).

Carlisle Invitational Important Information (Please Read)

We are looking forward to hosting you all at our Carlisle Invitational Meet on Monday October 21st at Great Brook State Park.  Please read this email carefully as it has important information.  Parking is extremely limited so please encourage parents to car pool. In addition, the park charges a $3 parking fee that will be collected when cars enter the lot.   The schedule for the day is as follows: 3:30 Varsity Boys 4:00 Varsity Girls 4:30 JV Boys 5:00 JV Girls.  I am aware that this is a tight schedule for our first race with some bussing companies but please do your best to arrive in time to begin the first race as scheduled.  

We will start races ahead of schedule if able so please make sure your runners are at the line ready to go once the prior race has started.

   Each team has a starting box starting with number 1 closest to the corn field and 17 on the outside as follows:

Spectators are encouraged to support all runners.  It is important that the course remain clear for all runners. Do not block the starting or finishing area as these areas get the most crowded. Keep to the side of all trails.  Please plan on arriving with plenty of time to park as to not miss your child's race.  Be sure to know if they are running varsity or JV.  
Parking for spectators
Address: 1018 Lowell Road, Carlisle, MA 01741
For Runners
Runners should plan on using the porta potties for the bathroom to be set up near the runner's staging area and not the one's by the Interpretative Center (near drop off).
Course Description:  The course distance is 1.95 miles and has varied terrain including trails with stones and roots.  Sections of the course include rolling hills.  Course Map
Please remind your child that we will be leaving WMS at 2:10 on Monday for this meet.  This early release will make it possible for us to arrive on team and warm-up prior to the first race.  If you plan on attending the meet and bringing your child home with you please send an email detailing your pick-up plan.

Hanscom (Lincoln) - PLEASE READ!!!!!!!
This meet takes place on the military base.  In order to gain entrance to the base all spectators need to provide their full names and date of birth to us no later than Monday morning.  We need to send our "spectator" list to Hanscom Monday morning and then you will be allowed to enter the base on Thursday for the meet.  Sorry for the inconvenience but this is the only way parents can gain access to the base.  We do not need birthdates for team members, only for spectators.
