Points of Interest

We will be using the IPICO Chip Timing System - a chip that is attached to the runner's shoe. There will be a bullpen area at the finish of the race where water will be available and chips will be collected. If coaches have runners that do not run or do not finish the race, they must turn in the numbers for those athletes at the registration area. Schools will be charged $10 each for missing chip. Runners will also wear a bib number on the front of their singlet that matches their chip number.

Coaches are asked to please cooperate in advance by:

Completing the online team registration form at http://www.gopherarun.com/legendsmeet/register/
Submitting rosters online at baumspage.com by at least one week prior to the meet.
Ensuring correct numbers are pinned properly on the front of each runner
Ensuring chips corresponding to issued bib numbers are placed on runners shoes... and all chips returned after race.
Times will be available at the 1 and 2 mile marks for each race.
Concessions and other vendors will be available beneath the grandstands.
Results will be available at www.gopherarun.com
Meet T-shirts will be sold at the registration area.
Restrooms are available under the grandstands and in adjacent buildings.
