All runners will race at the Dekalb County Meet #1 on Tuesday Aug 23rd as well as the Bob Blastow Early Bird on Saturday Aug 27th. A huge thank you to the Booster Club that has done an amazing job to get uniforms and tshirts packaged for this week. Uniforms can be picked up at the end of practice Monday. They will also be available in Coach Chriszt's classroom (A-5) starting Monday.
Dekalb County Meet #1 - Druid Hills Middle School, Tuesday Aug 23rd
Parents: the county has told us we will likely not get a bus for ANY weekday meets. So, please plan to take your runners to the meet. Please make sure your runner is at our DHS XC Tent by 4:15 for warm ups/bib distribution. If your child needs a ride, email Coach Chriszt at [email protected] no later than Tuesday at 8:30am so we can get them in the carpool.

3 Mile Race at 5:15pm at Druid Hills Middle School, Return to DHS 7:15pm.
Due to construction at Druid Hills Middle, there are some changes to the race course:
The starting area now will be on the other side of the baseball field and track from the old starting line. We will line up between the gate where runners first enter the woods and where they come back from the gate from the woods that took the runners around the baseball field back toward the old finish line.
The finish line will be right in the corner area where the pavement comes in with the baseball foul pole. You should see the finish area set up there, with the truck and scoring area set up between the finish line and the left field pole.
Bob Blastow Early Bird Saturday Aug 27:
