The 2020 Cross Country will start on Monday, August 17th with a 8:00 AM practice. Runners should meet in the front entrance of the school. Practice will be at 8:00 AM for the remainder of that week. There will be a participant/parent meeting at 5:00 pm on Monday, August 17th in the Horizon cafetorium.

• Training groups will be limited to 4 runners and training groups will go on different routes and will be staggered. (National Federation of High Schools and Bismarck Public Schools) – require for groups to remain the same day-to-day)
*Side note in regards to the outdoor handout from the Bismarck Public Schools. It say groups of 15, which includes coaches, while practicing social distancing at 6 feet. Obviously this isn’t doable while running. Hence the 4 per group max with social distancing taking place.
You can join our Summer Running Google Classroom for information regarding running workouts, weight training, and keeping track of your running log. To get the class code just email Coach Neset (boys coach) mark_neset@bismarckschools.org or Coach Porter (girls coach) michael_porter@bismarckschools.org Make sure you share your logs even if you haven't started running yet. Make a copy to your google drive and share it. This only needs to happen once!
We can't wait to see you on the 1st of June.
