NIRCA XC Regionals
"Post-Season" racing is here! Our next meet is NIRCA Regionals. The meet is Saturday, November 2nd. Below you will find the meet signup and carpool sheet. The deadline to fill out the sheet is next Thursday, October 24th @ 11:59PM. This will be an overnight meet with a minimal gas and hotel fee since it is in Shelbyvlle, IN.
A few important notes for this meet:
- To sign up for this meet, you must have signed the NIRCA Eligibility Form that Owen passed around at practice last week.
- This is a NIRCA Nationals qualifying meet. In order to run at Nationals in mid-November, you must run at least one of two NIRCA meet this season. Our first NIRCA meet was AkRUN. Therefore, if you would like to run Nationals and have not run AkRUN, you must sign up for this meet. You do not have to hit a certain qualifying time to run Nationals; you just have to finish the race.
- If you have not run AkRUN already, you will have some things to complete for NIRCA. Once I sign you up for the meet, you will receive an email saying you need to complete a NIRCA waiver. If you are new to running club, you will receive an additional email before the waiver email having you set up a NIRCA account. Please check your email and spam boxes if necessary and complete these ASAP.
- If you need to drop from the meet, please remove yourself from the sheet before it closes. If you need to drop after next Thursday, you will still be responsible for paying the gas/hotel fee. If you do not stay in the hotel the night before and have not let us know in advance, you will still be responsible for the gas/hotel fee.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Greg Antonini at 567-377-5583.
