Announcement
RULES / SCHEDULE FOR THE 2016 OVERNIGHT RELAY
Parents - Athletes
Just a couple of reminders about the Overnight Relay coming up on Saturday Sept 17th:
1. All athletes should be at the Track by 6:30pm. The Gates will open up by 6:00pm, to allow time for set up.
2. No tents are allowed. Runners should bring a tarp and either a sleeping bag or blankets.
3. If your student athlete needs to arrive late, you must bring them to the event yourself, and check them in. Please use XC Stats to email the coaches if you will be bringing your runner after 7PM.
4. This is a closed event. Once your student athlete is inside the stadium, they can not leave. No friends are allowed. If a runner needs to leave the event, they are done. No exceptions.
5. All school / district rules and policies apply (code of conduct).
6. Your athlete should bring food to eat during the night (this was assigned at practice) There will be a BBQ grill if you want to bring something to heat up. Please avoid sending your student with food that will make a mess (crumbs) as we will painstakingly clean the field when we are done (hint - cheez-its and gold-fish are EVIL & BAD)
7. The event ends at 7:00am Sunday morning. However, the athletes will not be dismissed until the field is clean. Therefore, plan on them being done around 7:45.
8. Coach Davis has a No-Energy Drink policy. Please help enforce this.
9. Any behavior that violates district, school or team policies will result in your child being removed from the event. Should that happen, at any hour, you will be called to come get them. In the recent history of the MVXC Overnight Relay, we have not had to enforce this.
10. One person per sleeping bag... need we further explain this?
11. Music and loud noise needs to be controlled during the night. Do not plan on playing loud sound systems.
12. Lastly, this is a fundraiser. The captains have selected Save Mount Diablo as their fundraising partner this year (funds are badly needed for restoration work due to the fire). Each athlete has been asked to contribute $10 - bring to the event.
We are hoping for a (relatively) warm night, and are of course trying to break the record of 115.8 miles set by the 2009 team.
