The courses were confirmed at a recent meeting of the Parker Classic Committee, and links to them are listed above. If possible park outside the race course as you may have to move before everyone is off the course. The five mile course is our primary concern.  We will meet between 9:00 and 9:30 AM in the parking lot near the corner of Antietam and MacArthur, just west of the school grounds. The school is on the east side of this intersection. If your assigned station is near a mile mark which is marked on the map as “N mi” and also on the street you need to find the marshal stationed there before the race starts so they can start their watch/timer when the race starts.

You can then move to your assigned position if it is different. In the two mile race there is a split timer at one mile. In the five mile race they are at one, two, three, and four mile splits. At the time of printing the names of the marshals for the splits were not settled.

 

If you are near a water stop (one on 2 mile, and three on the five mile at the 2, 3, and 4 mile marks on the 5 mile) please report when the water stop is set up. The water stops are marked WS on the map.

Be prepared to relay communications if necessary. We would like to report back to the school announcer the first male and female runners at each mile mark. They will have real bib numbers that should be readable. Please hold the numbers until you get both male and female numbers to reduce the traffic. Again only the first runner in each category and only at the mile marks. You will have to listen as the race progresses to see how this develops.

It is hoped at this time that State Police will be stationed at the intersections of Sherman & Antietam and Sherman & Buena Vista, to control traffic related to soccer game parking.
