7:30AM: Enter through the NCS Main Entrance, across from Hometown Bank and Hooper Field. The back gates will be closed. Parking is free but limited. Come early to secure a good spot and make sure you have enough time to get to the starting line. The front entrance to the school will close at 7:45 AM for the safety of our runners. After 7:45 AM, we are asking all participants to park on Hooper field (across from the front entrance to the school). A police officer will assist in helping people cross Colonial Ave. safely.
If participants need to leave the event before 10:00 AM, we would recommend parking on Hooper field as the main parking lots on campus will be closed to all traffic from 7:45- 10:00 AM.
7:30-8:30AM: Race Day Packet Pickup Tent will be open. After you come in the main school entrance, take your first right toward the soccer field. The first table you see on your left near the spirit rock will be the Race Day Packet Pickup table.

8:30AM: Kids’ Fun Run Starts. The NCS Cross Country Team will lead and follow the last kid to ensure they know where to go and leave no one behind.

8:30AM: Kids Corner opens with bounce houses, face painting, a balloon artist and other fun for the kids.
