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 16, 2019 at 9:00am.

Registration Fees:  Entries fees or school PO’s need to be post marked by September 13, 2019. 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.

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: Team entry fees will cover unlimited athletes! Due to course safety the Varsity and JV “B” races are limited to 7 entries per team. The JV “C” and Freshman races each have unlimited entries to teams.

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.
