Chick-fil-A
Invitational
September 12,
2015
We are extending an invitation for
your school to be a part of the 15th annual Chick-fil-A Invitational
on September 12, 2015. The meet site is
the Wood County 4-H Camp on Butcher Bend Road in Mineral Wells, West Virginia. (See directions and details on next page).
The
course is run entirely on grass and is a combination of gently rolling hills
and flat areas, which should provide for very good times. The high school races will be 5,000 meters,
the middle school races will be 3,000 meters, and the elementary races will be 400-800
meters. There will be an admission fee
for spectators. Change facilities and
restrooms will be on site at the campgrounds.
There will be a large area for school tents and parking for at least
5,000 cars. In the event of inclement
weather, various buildings are available for cover for participants as well as
spectators. You can preorder T-shirts by
visiting www.runWV.com/shirt.pdf. Exclusive Chick-fil-A Invitational T-shirts
will be on sale day of the race. Hot and
cold concessions will be available. The
awards ceremony will be on site, next to the start/finish area.
You must
register online. Go to www.timetoenter.com to register. Entry
fees for our meet are $35 for each team per high school (if both a boys' and
girls' team, then $70) and $20 for each team per middle school (if both a boys'
and girls' team, then $40). There is a
$5 per runner fee for all other individuals.
