Race Day
The race will take place at Carmel High School, across from the football stadium. It will take place on grass and go through a wooded trail (there will be mosquitos so runners may want to consider wearing repellent). The footing can be muddy, grassy, bumpy, and hilly so be careful during the run and enjoy the cross-country course kindly provided by Coach Chuck Koeppen who will be starting the race. As the race will start at 9:15 AM, please arrive at a time before 9 AM to check-in. Runners may want to stretch or warm up; if so, please arrive with adequate time to do so. There will be water and food provided, including donuts, bagels, and coffee, but we encourage runners to bring their own water as well and to stay hydrated. It is expected to be a hot, sunny day, so runners should wear sunscreen as they see fit. After the race, we will reveal the winners of our raffles. We can't wait for a fun-filled race day!
