THE COURSE

ENTRY FORM
To secure your team's spot in this year's meet, add the Curtis Invite to your calendar.  Click here for the athletic.net meet site,  or click here for registration instructions . We will limit the meet to 30 teams.  Any questions or concerns contact Ben Mangrum at bmangrum@upsd.wednet.edu 
Please submit your roster by Monday September 28th. Rosters need to be entered using Athletic.net (Use the link to find directions on how to sign up online).
*It won't matter at all if you enter an athlete in a certain division and want to change them later, so don't worry about that. I just need the names to enter them in the system. You choose who runs what race, and the finishers will be entered into the results of that race afterwards.

Coaches and parents are encouraged to run in the Community Open Race, and you can enter on race day at the registration area (there will be a suggested donation of $5 for community members, but coaches are free of course).
AWARDS
There will be trophies for the top three teams in both the varsity boys and the varsity girls race. Medals will be given to the top ten individuals in the varsity races. Ribbons will be given to #’s 11-20, as well as to the top ten finishers in each of the other races.
ENTRY FEE
$100.00 for a boys and girls team / $75.00 for either a boys or girls team. Please have your accounts office send your entry fee by Friday, September 25th, and make the check out to Curtis High School. The mailing address is: Ben Mangrum, Curtis High School, 8245 40th Ave. W, University Place, WA 98466.
