Meet Information
This will be a Monday night meet at Asante Park in Surprise. The first day of competition allowed in Arizona.

AWARDS
We will have awards for the Top 15 individuals and Top 3 teams at the Varsity level.
We will have awards for the Top 10 individuals at the JV level.
This is a great opportunity to get an early meet in to see where your runners are at without the hot Arizona sun bearing down on the athletes. If you like Desert Twilight, we are hoping to make this meet a mini-early season version of that meet.
Multiple food trucks. T-shirt sales. Sticker sales. Glow sticks for the athletes. This is going to be both competitive and fun!
Sticker and water sales will be cash only. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

PARKING INFORMATION
There are parking spots in the park, and at the church and the school next to the park. Overflow and bus parking will be at the Fry's on the corner of Pat Tillman and 163rd Ave. The park is less than a 1/2 mile from the Fry's.
Bus drop-off area will be on the north side of the park, by the library. If you could keep your buses from coming back to pick up the athletes until 9:00 PM, it would be greatly appreciated, as the pick-up area is close to the course.
THERE IS NO STREET PARKING ALLOWED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD NEXT TO THE PARK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THOSE VEHCILES WOULD BE TICKETED AND TOWED.
COURSE INFORMATION
Below is a copy of the course maps. I had to add a few twists and turns at the beginning and the end of the course in order to get to 3.1 miles. There is one short section where the runners will be running on the sidewalk in both directions. However, the majority of the course is pretty wide open with plenty of places to pass, along with some minor rolling hills. We will have supplemental lighting along the course and the sidewalk is well lit, as is the start and finish areas.
