COURSE SET UP
START...The start is several
boxes, or rows set up in an even line, equal distance from the
first turn. Each team is assigned a box.There must be a straight
away of at least 100 meters at the start of each race.
TURNS...
Right turns are marked off by YELLOW flags.
Left
turns are marked off by RED
flags.
And
going straight is marked off by BLUE flags.
FINISH... Again a 100 meter straight away is
needed for a finish. This should be marked off with flags of some
sort to "funnel" the runners into the finish line.
After the line you should have a "chute", which should
be roped off in some way. At the end of the chute the runners
should be given a number according to their finish. It is easy to
use index cards or popsicle sticks.
SCORING MADE EASY
Each competing team is allowed SEVEN
runners. The first FIVE runners will count towards the
team score. Each team adds up their first five runner's places
and the LOWEST score wins the meet.
