Practices
Dress appropriately for the sport and for the weather! A lot of families are bringing kids straight from school to practice. Remember to dress in gym clothes and have gym shoes or running shoes on practice days. (Running shoes are strongly recommended)
*ALWAYS BRING A WATER BOTTLE* - Labeled with child's name!

Slap-Bracelets & Foot/Race Tokens
Slap-Bracelets:
We will use slap-bracelets with QR codes to record mileage again this year. Runners will be responsible to bring their bands to and from each practice. You do not need your slap-bands at race events.

Foot/Race Tokens:
Runners will start the season with a "welcome" foot token and neck chain. They will earn additional foot tokens throughout the season. For every 5 miles run (this can take several practices), 1 foot token will be awarded to the runner. Races count toward a runner's mileage. Foot tokens are given out by coaches at the end of each practice. Race tokens are given automatically at the completion of each race. Race tokens can be found on our team table after each race and are available to take at your leisure.

Practice Cancellations
We will practice rain or shine. Especially if it's warm... kids love playing in the rain! Bring a towel when you pick them up ;).
In the case of heavy downpour or storms, practice cancellations will always be communicated through TeamApp. It is always your choice to keep your child home from practice regardless of the club's decision to hold practice or not. Run Club is an individual sport, practices are not mandatory, and you do not need to communicate absences from practice.

Meets and Jamborees
You MUST RSVP for all races. Please RSVP at least one week prior to each race (you do not have to wait until the week before, you can RSVP the entire season now!). Each race will have an RSVP option in TeamApp. If you are unsure you can attend, it's ok to use the "Maybe" option! ("Maybe's" will be registered for the race. No hurt feelings if you don't end up making it.)
*Wear your run club issued t-shirt (will be distributed the week of 9/10), any shorts/pants of your choice, and any sneakers/running shoes
*Always arrive at least 30 minutes prior to start times. (remember park entrances can get backed up on race days)
*Park entry fees (metroparks & state parks) still apply as normal on race days.

Spirit Wear
Participants & coaches will each receive one Navy blue-camo race shirt (blue-camo shirt not available for purchase). If you would like any ADDITIONAL spirit wear for your child or family, our spirit wear store will be open through the end of next week.
