Ashland Invitational

On behalf of Ashland Paul Blazer High School, we are extending an invitation for your school to be a part of the 4th annual Ashland Invitational on October 8th, 2005.

The course is run entirely on trails and grass and is a combination of rolling hills and flat areas, which should provide for exciting races. The infamous “HEARTBREAK HILL” is a large part of the course’s popularity. The high school races will be 5,000 meters, the junior high/middle school races will be 3,000 meters, and the elementary races will be 1,600 meters. There will be a small admission fee for spectators. Changing facilities and restrooms will be on site. There will be a large area for school tents and parking. In the event of inclement weather, various buildings are available for cover for participants as well as spectators. Exclusive Ashland Invitational T-shirts will be on sale. Hot and cold concessions will be available. The awards’ ceremony will be next to the start/finish area.

Entry fees for our meet are $35 per High School Varsity Team, $25 per Junior High/Middle School Team, $15 per Elementary Team. There is a $5 per runner fee for all other individuals. There will be a $100 per school maximum fee regardless of the number of teams entered. Please make checks payable to: Ashland Paul Blazer Cross Country and mail to Phillip Caudill-Head Cross Country Coach, 1500 Blazer Blvd. Ashland, KY 41102. The deadline for entry applications and fees is OCTOBER 1, 2005. No entries after the deadline and no refunds.

NOTICE: Any school whose entry fee has not been received by the day of the race will not be allowed to participate. “Checks in the mail” do not constitute received payment.
