Attention:
As most coaches are aware, there is a very large construction project underway at Van Cortlandt Park. The impact of this project to the Meet will be as follows:
- The starting line for the 1.5 mile Freshman and Intermediate Races will be moved to an area near the finish line of the 2.5 mile course. The runners will then proceed towards Broadway and intersect the normal 1.5 mile course.
- When facing the 2.5 mile starting line, the area designated for tents will be to the left of the flagpole and the Van Cortlandt mansion. This area will not be as vast as in prior years, so if you don’t really need a tent, please do not bring one. This is an on-going project which will last a minimum of two years.
The updates course maps are posted and being refined. The 2.5 mile course remains unchanged, but the 1.5 mile freshmen course is changed.
