COURSE

Start out on the grassy open polo field and enter the winding, scenic soft trails of Bethpage State Park. Few small hills, mostly flat and mostly FUN trails! If you're a newbie to trails this is beginner-friendly and as a veteran, you'll love the true cross country feel of 2018's NCAA DII NCAA East Region Championships!

GETTING YOUR BIB

Virtual: Your bib will be mailed directly to you as soon as the race gear arrives, which may be close to the race date. Please allow 3-5 days to receive after signing up late. If you don't get your bib in the mail by race day, please use the live chat at elitefeats.com to confirm your shipping address (include an apartment number if applicable)

In-Person options: Please see the event staff starting one hour before the event start time. Or, have your bib mailed to you prior to the race for $10! *(must be registered 10 days in advance to get a bib mailed)

Wearing Your Bib: The mid-torso is the sweet spot for accurate results. Please be sure to wear your bib just above your belly button, right side up, for best read-rates. Do not fold, crumple or cut your bib in any way. It must be visible to onlookers and not get in the way of your arms/legs. Please use four pins, or four alternative-securing gear such as race magnets, in each corner to ensure proper placement and visibility.
