Each race section will have a 2-hour time slot that includes (30 minutes for campsite setup + warm up); 30 minutes for each race with 15 minute window before next race; 30 minutes for camp site clean-up, cool down, & 1st place trophy awarded to winning team for coach to pick up (team picture taken at respective team campsite); top 5 runners medals from each girls & boys race will receive their medal at finish line
Team campsite may remain if school has runners in later race sections (remember: all runners who complete their race must leave race site within 30 minutes)
Runners, Coaches, etc. must wear facial coverings at team camp sites, while waiting in bathroom lines
Coaches need to wear a facial covering while documenting mile splits near other coaches
Spectators are required to wear facial coverings at venue & to remain mindful of 6-foot spatial distancing; Each team's fans are recommended to stay together while watching their teams compete which would help maintain their school's 'safety bubble' as per Covid-19 preventive exposure measures
Spectators are to watch from behind roped-off sections from race course to maintain athlete 'safety bubble'
The Start line will be extended to provide a team-space bubble before race start
