17th Annual Warm-Up Cross-country Running Series for Schools


2010 Important Technical Notes

  1. All entry forms MUST clearly indicate athletes´ Year of Birth, Gender, Name and School Affiliation. Registrations will be returned for missing information.
  2. An athlete can ONLY compete in the category determined by his / her YEAR OF BIRTH. In the event that the athlete does compete in an incorrect category, the result WILL NOT be recognized. It is the school´s responsibility to ensure that their athletes compete in the appropriate category.
  3. An athlete can not compete in a higher or lower age category.
  4. An athlete can represent only his/her school, and can not compete for another school.
  5. A bib number will be given to all competitors, which is to be worn visibly on the chest. The race number must be worn as issued and may not be cut, folded or obscured in any way. DO NOT REMOVE THE AFFIXED BAR CODE LABEL!

  6. Teachers/coaches, it is your responsibility to ensure that your athletes are on the start line on time - One hour prior to announced times.
  7. Students enrolled in grade 4 but born in 2002 are permitted to compete as long as they provide proof of enrollment, signed by a school principal prior to entry in a race.
  8. All points are tabulated based on the athlete's finishing position. It is therefore imperative for the athlete after he/she crosses the finish line to stay in line and keep the order of finishing until the end of the chute, where the finish line official records his/her number.
  9. The finish is at the front of the chute. You also have to go to the back of the chute. Stay in line. Do not pass another runner. WALK in the chute.
  10. Athletes will be disqualified (DQ) when:
    • they do not go through and have their number recorded at the end of the chute
    • they cross the finish line without a number
    • they compete in another race
    • they run without a shirt having their number displayed
    • the bib number is somewhere on their person, but it is hidden or not prominently displayed on their chest.
  11. Where possible we will notify athletes of their DQ. This is generally not possible for people who skip the finish chute. You have from the end of your race until the start of the next race to make any protests.
  12. Spectators/Parents/Coaches please note: People are asked to cooperate and stay away from the course and the finish area. Enthusiastic spectators have gotten in the way of athletes, and also add to the general confusion.
  13. Refund Policy: All fees are Non-Transferable and Non-Refundable.
