Exciting news! Our next race will be held on September 23rd at Camp Rilea. This year, we are proud to announce that we will be using Eclectic Edge Racing for our chip timing system, which promises to improve the accuracy of our results.
Race results will be available online, and at the finish line in real time. This means that you'll be able to see how you and your team performed immediately after crossing the finish line.
To make the event even more exciting, we are proud to announce that we will be awarding medals to the top ten participants in each grade and gender. This presents a great opportunity for Middle School and club teams to bring home some hardware and celebrate their achievements. Awards will be given out after the Middle School races and after the High School races.
Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to compete and be recognized for your hard work. We hope to see you all there!
In preparation for the big race, we have a fun-filled itinerary for you all to enjoy.
