Dear Coaches and Athletes:
Congratulations on making the 3A
Region 2 XC Meet. Lecanto High School looks forward to hosting this
event! Below are a few items to have a smooth race day.
1. There is no parking fee!
2. All teams /runners should park in the back of the school-that is their entrance!
3. Runners inuniform get in free. Each team will get two coaching bands for free
admission. Everyone else will pay $7 entrance fee. Coaches can pick
up their running packets Friday when they preview the course.
4. Friday Preview: If you wish preview the course at Lecanto from 3:45- 5:45 p.m.,
please call Dan Epstein at 352 613 4478 to meet you there. Park at the
tennis courts at the county park there. That is near the start line.
Coach Darrick (green floppy hat) will be there with packets for you to pick up.
5. The spectator entrance is in the front of the school. Again, entry is $7 each. The only way to
enter the stadium is to have a wristband; please wear at all times especially
if you plan on exiting and entering the stadium multiple times (in order to
coach or cheer for your teams) We will sell wristbands until the event is
over. We recommend everyone purchase a wristband as soon as you arrive so
there is no delay in entering the stadium for you to see the finish.
6. The race is chip timed. A fee of $20 per missing chip will be fined to teams who fail to
return the chips.
