Welcome to the 2023 OCSAA/OVSAA season of Cross Country Running!
October 10/2023 Update Tomorrow's race will also run a staggered start: Gr 6-8 start at 5:00PM Jr/Sr start at 5:25PM These times are dependent on timely bus arrivals.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This race is in a new location. Race start is approximately 200m up the trail from UBC-O. Trail head is right by the UBC Childcare Center at the top north-west corner of campus. Best access is off of Upper Campus Way via John Hindle Drive.
Parking is available in Lots G and W. Note: paid parking is in effect and UBC parking will be monitoring. Parking passes can be purchased on campus at any of the pay stations.
Although it is a beautiful running trail for our athletes, this is not a very spectator friendly location. The start area is tight and I am asking all spectators to move well down the trail so they do not block our runners/volunteers. If you are coming to watch, please know you will have to walk at least 600-800m to view the athletes and be sure to stay well away from our finish area. Thanks in advance for prioritizing our racer's safety and running experience. Next week's race is very spectator friendly with a wide start/finish area and lots of viewpoints along the loop.
Sept 29/2023 Update PLEASE READ: I have received multiple emails today that athletes are not listed in the results. The reason for this is that some athletes are taking the wrong numbers. This means their results show up under the name of the athlete who is assigned to the tag they mistakenly took. I am no longer able to look into or accommodate requests to change or correct results. In addition, it affects those athletes who show up and cannot find their race number.
Please remind your athletes to look at the number sheets that are sent to their coaches before every race or check the race numbers posted on site and double check that they have taken the correct number. Their race numbers should not change from week to week.
