COURSE DESCRIPTION: Historic Choctaw Trails has been reimagined and redesigned to host the South’s best cross-country
experience for everyone including athletes, coaches, and spectators. With ample parking for fans, shaded team tent areas for
coaches and athletes, and designated restrooms for both, Choctaw Trails provides everything needed to experience cross
country at its finest. The course boasts a starting line big enough to safely accommodate 40 teams and every step will be run
on grass. A 30+ foot width at all points, the course affords front-runners, mid-packers, and come-from-behind strategists alike
a safe opportunity to compete. Course markings can be found at every kilometer and every mile, and multiple clocks make it
easy to track athlete’s times. The last 800m is sure to inspire as it loops adjacent to the finish line, and two sets of bleachers
line the final stretch to help spectators cheer athletes through the finish line. From the improved course to the electric
atmosphere, Choctaw Trails delivers the ultimate cross-country experience.
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY: A certified and licensed athletic trainer will monitor the weather and make the decision to
suspend activity in the event of inclement weather. If it is recommended that activity should be suspended the athletic trainer
will notify the race director, MC game administrator and the PA announcer. Teams will be asked to seek shelter by returning to
their respective travel bus/van and fans will need to return to their vehicles. Activity shall not resume until given the ALL
CLEAR by the athletic trainer. Teams will be given a minimum of 30 mins to warm up before activity is resumed
Parking: $5 per car for spectators
