Important Information about Parking:

       We will be using the parking lot at Veterans Acres to park busses only.  Spectators will not be allowed to park in the parking lot or on the side streets by Veterans Acres.  This will be policed by the Crystal Lake police department and people may be ticketed for parking on side streets.  Spectators are to park at Prairie Ridge High School or Crystal Lake Central High School.  We will have buses that will shuttle the spectators from the school to the course. The buses will also shuttle the spectators back to the school.  These shuttle buses will run constantly from 7:15 until the end of the awards ceremony.  Prairie Ridge High School and Crystal Lake Central High School are both one mile away from Veterans Acres.  To get to Prairie Ridge High School the spectators will drive past Veterans Acres and the high school will be on their right about a mile after Veterans Acres. To get to Crystal Lake Central High School the spectators will have to turn south on Walk-up, off of Rte. 176.  This is the opposite direction from Veterans Acres. They will run right into the school about a mile down the road. Please allow time to be shuttled to the course. It is suggested that you show up 40 minutes before the race starts. If you want to see the Varsity Boys’ race then you should be at the school by 7:50.  If you want to see the Varsity Girls race then you should be at the school by 8:50 and so on.  It is anticipated that Prairie Ridge will fill up first. It is the same ride from Crystal Lake Central.
