this fencing in the last section of the gravel parking lot closest to course at
the Mile mark. Do NOT put tents within 20 feet of the finish

must put on your athlete and coach wristbands before entering the team area. Team managers, athletes NOT competing, and

with their team at check in. Just Ask!
They just have to check in all at once and enter together.
