*After lots of positive feedback about the slight course changes the 2014 version of the Carlisle Invitational will continue via the same line we followed in 2013. Even MORE of the course is now visible to parents, coaches and fans. After a positive experience with chip timing last year we will also welcome back Chester County Running Store to continue timing the event and greatly limit human errors in the finish chutes.
The Travis Trail is exactly 5000 meters in length, is clearly marked with permanent signs throughout. The course is entirely mowed grass and offers a mixture of flat and hill running. The start offers open, unobstructed running for several hundred meters with excellent mobility throughout the entire course. The course is little affected by even the most extreme adverse weather conditions. It provides an excellent surface for spikes or flats. It is also an excellent spectator course and offers easy race visibility for well over 4000 of 5000 meters. The course has been the site of NCAA regional and national cross country finals. It has been described by an out-of-state coach from a nationally ranked team as one of the top high school courses in the United States.
*Varsity teams will consist of 7 runners, JV teams will consist of 9th-12th grade runners who are not legitimate top 5 varsity caliber runners with unlimited entries.
*PUMA Challenge races will be the final races of the day.
*Seniors WILL continue to be permitted to run in the JV races if they are truly JV runners.
*The JV BOYS race will remain split into two separate competitive races, but a new breakdown so Freshmen boys will have their own race, with other JV runners of all grades in the other. Coaches may choose to run their freshmen up in order to get a team score in the JV race if they like, but they would not be eligible to win the 9th grade trophy that will go to the winner of the Freshmen boys race.
*Formal awards ceremony for award winners in the PUMA Challenge races at 1:30PM in the Stadium.
