Coaches Registration is OPEN for 2018!
Athlete registration on DirectAthletics will open in August, 2018!
Coaches will need to register and fill out the information sheet that can be found HERE. This is for the collection of accurate contact information. All meet communication will be made through this platform, teams will not be considered registered until their coach has signed up as the school’s point of contact.
High School Coaches will then register their rosters via a DirectAthletics invite. The deadline to register your team is Monday, September 17, 2018 at 9:00am.
Registration Fees: Entries fees or school PO’s need to be post marked by September 14, 2018. Late entry fees will ONLY be accepted with the late fee of $25. Entry fees can be done via check or credit card (at the point of coaches registration online). Please make checks payable to: Millennium Running. Checks can be sent to: Millennium Running, 138 Bedford Center Road, Bedford, NH 03110
Starting Boxes: Starting boxes are assigned randomly for each varsity race. Freshman and JV races will use the same box number as their varsity team. In those Freshman and Varsity races please allow no more than three athletes on the front line as there will be two schools (one large, one small) per box.

Timing & Scoring: Each H.S. athlete will receive a finishing time and for all races (except the JV “C” races) team scores will be produced.
Team Size: ***Returning for 2018*** Team entry fees will cover unlimited athletes! Due to course safety the “A”, “B”, and “Freshman” race are still limited to 7 entries per team. The exception is the new “C” race, which has unlimited entries to teams who register for the unlimited entry category.
Large vs Small School Competition: The NHIAA defines Division I, or Large School, as an enrollment of 1200+ students. The Manchester Invitational will honor that as a guideline for our event as well. That being said, any team may “race up” if they wish!
Results: Official results will be produced using chip timing in conjunction with FinishLynx cameras. Each athlete will receive a bib with timing chip adhered to the back, as well as a corresponding hip number.
