Historical Notes: Saline has been running this time trial for 31 years! We started out on Bethel Church Rd. just west of town and then migrated to the Gall farm site due to increasing numbers and traffic on the roads. In 2004 the venue was moved to the old High School campus loop. For 2007, we'll return to the dirt roads, back on the original course that we ran on for about 25 years!

The Course...
The course is on the dirt roads to the west of town. It is a 5 mile loop in the shape of a letter "P". The start is on Bethel Church Rd, facing west. Runners advance to Grass Rd. and turn left. They take Grass to Waterworks and turn right. Then they advance to Alber Rd. and turn right again. Alber leads back to Bethel Church and there is a roughly 2 mile straightaway to the finish. It's a remote location with some great scenery & rolling terrain.

-Parents can drop off their son's at the race site, but if you plan to stay and watch, please make arrangments to car pool with other parents.
-For the runners safety, we ask that spectators do not drive along the course to cheer for the runners. Parents and friends are welcome to run or bike the course. There will be a 1/4 mile walk from the staging area to the start and finish area.
-Only our fittest athletes will be running in the actual trial. All athletes not participating will complete a shorter distance.
