Additional Information
Open Men and Women will race first. Coaches are welcome to participate. Enter any runners that are a possibility, but remove any that you know are not coming. There are no limits on roster size, but please try to be accurate. You may add and subtract from your entry roster up until Midnight September 1.
Each team can enter a Varsity team of 5-7 runners into either the Championship or the Varsity race, a JV team or B-Team of 5-7 runners in the Junior Varsity race, and any additional runners in the Development race.
You do not need to designate who is running which race ahead of time. Simply do not exceed your limits. We cannot and will not allow entry additions or changes on race day so if there’s a possibility someone is going to race, enter them. If you are sure they are not, please delete them so we don’t print a bib# for them.

Participants in these groups can run as teams (5 person) or as individuals. “You could have run how fast back in your day?” Guess what homey, it’s your day. Lace ‘em up.
Course Info
The course is set. A perfect – two loop – 5000m course over flat grassy terrain. This course is a traditional XC course with little to no elevation change. It’s wide open. Spikes are encouraged. The course runs two loops of Hugh MacRae Park, Wilmington’s home to the Mideastern Conference Championship, New Hanover County Championship, Coastal River Conference Championship and many other meets. New Hanover County Parks and Recreation has graciously worked with Go Time, and UNCW XC to help us create a course that is fast, safe and fun.
