W.VA. Insurance Invitational Moved From Ritchie Co HS to North Bend State Park

 

Due to construction on the Ritchie County High School campus the W.Va. Insurance Invitational on October 4th has been moved to the new campground at North Bend State Park.  The campground is located on the Harrisville side of the park above the marina.  The course is laid out on former farmland above the North Bend Lake.  The course is gently rolling and viewer friendly.  The surface is almost entirely a grass surface.  We will have exclusive access to the bathhouse facilities at the campground including restrooms and showers.   

 

Time changes:

 

Middle School Girls   9:30

Middle School Boys  10:10

Middle School Awards – after completion of boys race

 

High School Girls     11:00

High School Boys     11:40

 

At this time we will not run a High School JV race unless we receive more entries or comments.   The first seven runners that finish will be considered for scoring.  

 

High school awards – after completion of high school races. 

 

Directions

 

We recommend using the Ellenboro exit from US Route 50.  For schools coming from the Parkersburg direction the Cairo exit will result in a long and curvy bus ride through the entire park.

 

From the Ellenboro exit of US Route 50 take Route 16 south to Harrisville.  Follow the signs to North Bend State Park.  The entrance to the campground is 6.7 miles from US route 50 and approximately 1.5 miles from the intersection of Routes 16 and 31 in Harrisville.  Additional signs will be posted.   The bus trip from Rt 50 should take 10 to 15 minutes. 

 

We have extended the entry deadline to Thursday October 2 for any additional schools that wish to attend.  We prefer Hy-tek files but we will be happy to take entries by e-mail or by fax.
