The fourth annual MileSplit RI Twilight X-C Relays is coming up fast. The popular nighttime event, which consists of a series of 3xMile Relays under the lights, will be held on Friday, Sept. 9 at Diamond Hill State Park on Rte. 114 in Cumberland.
The meet will kick off with Freshmen/JR. High races, beginning with the girls at 6 p.m., and followed by the boys at 6:30 p.m. The varsity races will start at 7 p.m. with a Varsity 2 event, followed by a seeded Varsity 1 event. Again, the girls will go first, followed by the boys at 30-minute increments.
Medals will be awarded to the top three 3xMile teams in each event, including the freshmen races. Tech T-shirts will also be available for purchase at the event. The cost for unlimited entries is just $40 per team (per gender) or $70 for entering a boys' and girls' team.
The primary purpose of the Twilight X-C Relays is to provide a fun (and competitive) event to begin the season. Besides running under the lights, music will be played throughout the meet. And, of course, MileSplit RI will be on site and provide complete coverage of the Relays from start to finish.
