Dear Coach(s),
We would like to invite you and your cross-country team to the 11th annual 4 x XC Relay Meet at the Belmont Plateau in Philadelphia on September 9th, 2017.
For 2017, we are altering the events to make the Invite even more athlete friendly. Our goal is for all runners, varsity, junior varsity, and freshman to race in the relay. There will be separate divisions that we hope fit different teams dynamics. The relay is great way to promote team building when athletes are dependent on each other. In many ways, this meet is an ideal way to kick off your 2017 cross country season! Last year a vast array of teams from PA and NJ competed. We would like to add your team to this incredible event.
We are very fortunate to have Bryn Mawr Running Company and our new sponsor Hoka serving as our meet sponsors! We have attempted to make the meet an enjoyable experience for you and your athletes. This meet will include the following:
The Open 5k will take runners on the traditional 5K course at the Belmont Plateau. Our goal is to grow this race and promote cross country beyond high school competition. For all open race details please visit: http://brynmawrrunningco.com/bmrc-race-quadx
Boys and Girls Divisions, each division will have different colored bibs:
Varsity 2 boys/2 varsity limit
Junior-Senior unlimited
Freshman-Sophomore unlimited
Mixed unlimited
All athletes will compete over the same two mile course, but in a four person relay format that will cover a total of eight thrilling miles. Schools can enter up to two teams of four runners in the varsity race and unlimited in the 3 other divisions. If a team does not have enough for an additional 4, they can run a shortened relay of 1-3 runners.
Course and Schedule:
Upon registration, a baton with a chip will be issued to each relay team competing in the 4 different divisions. The girls' and boys' relay will be 4 X 2 miles run entirely on grass and dirt trails. Both the boys and girls will be racing on the same course at the same time. The girls divisions will start approximately 9-10 minutes before the boys divisions to avoid the afternoon heat and to add more excitement to the races (Battle of the Sexes, see above).
