IMPORTANT NOTES FOR SCHOOLS: 

* Students are not permitted to run down to the marshalling areas. Teachers must walk their teams down to the marshaling areas when called. * Each school must provide a coach/teacher to supervise their relay teams at the marshalling areas. Please ensure your students are sitting in lines while they wait. 

* Parking: Parking is time consuming, especially the purchasing of tickets. To avoid line-ups at the ticket booth, parking passes can be purchased online or in any lot on campus and then used to park at the stadium or any other lot at UVic.

 * All schools MUST send their 800 m runners by driver to ensure they arrive at the stadium at 9:15 a.m. in time for their race at 9:30 a.m. 

* Drop-off: Please remind families that there is no supervision before 9:15 and they need to supervise their child until their school arrives and is doing sign-in.

 * If you are short runners for your Relay teams in Grade 4 or 5, please substitute with a runner from a younger grade. When runners have to run back to the marshalling area to run a second race, it causes considerable grief for the race organizers. For Grade 3s the substitute runner in Grade 3 needs to be placed as the third runner (in their first race) as they will finish where their next group is waiting. 

* Please remind your students and coaches that each child is to run in two individual events and one relay (unless needed in a second relay).

 * Please remind everyone of the need for proper behaviour in the stands. Students should stay with their team and be seated in the stands when not competing. * No students are allowed on the track unless running in an event. No students are allowed on the field or on the grass on the outside of the track, or in the tunnel under the stadium. * Runners need to stay in their lane once they finish so that ribbons can be handed out.

 * Please remind relay runners – once their race is finished, they should collect their ribbons from their #4 runner when they get back to the stands. (No running across the track to regroup). 

* Relay runners stay in their own lane after passing the baton. 

* Please provide a large garbage bag for your school. We will be charged for any additional clean-up services UVic has to do following our track meet. Please communicate this to families as well.
