Nike Cross Country Northeast Regional Championships

As we discussed everyone has a chance to extend their season and running fun to the end of November if they would like.

On Saturday, November 26th, in Wappingers Falls, NY, Nike Cross Country Northeast Regional Championships will take place at the legendary Bowdoin Park.

I have created an account for our team under the name RunningBucs. For this race the school is NOT allowed to provide transportation or the entry fee. You are not allowed to wear your school uniforms, so these details will have to be organized by you -our student athletes. I am not even allowed to coach you the day of, just cheer you on. In the past the girls have shared hotel rooms near the course the night before with parent chaperones to enhance the team experience and defer costs.

The single person race fee is $35, for a team of 5-7 it is $175, and for unlimited entries its is $400.

To register you will need to let me know by the end of the week (Friday, October 21st) that you would like me to add you to our team online. Once I have a total head count the race fee will be collected (Last day to pay with team is October 28th). There is an open race and championship race so runners of all levels can run! 

Hopefully our varsity team will be selected to participate in the Championship Race, an accomplishment in its own right.

These national races are a once in a lifetime experience that you don't want to miss out on. Here is the website if you need more information. http://www.runnerspace.com/nxnne
