Athlete Registration — how to register

Roster entry will be handled using Athletic.net. Middle school and high school divisions use different links to register and you must do each of them. All high school athletes may be entered in the varsity race! You need not enter kids in varsity/jv. All athletes are eligible for either race without designation.
