The goal is to permit comparibly skilled runners to the opportunity to compete against each other. The individual seed race awards give a wider range of athletes a chance to win awards. We expect that all coaches will enter their athletes in the appropriate seed race.
Given the magnitude of this event, runners who are out more than 40 minutes for girls or more than 35 minutes for boys pose a challenge for the turnover of timing in the 5th seed races. Coaches, if you enter a runner expected to exceed those upper limits, you must notify the Meet Director when you do your registrations. Thetford Academy and Lancer Timing will do our best to accommodate those runners with hand timing. Thank you for your cooperation.
Also coaches with special needs athletes need to email the Meet Director to arrange for entries.
High
School races are for athletes in 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades only.

Meet management reserves the right to adjust the sizes of each seed race.
Junior High School Races - 2,715 meters
There will be two Junior High School races - one for the boys and one
for the girls.
Please do NOT enter any athletes that cannot run under 25:00.
Junior High School races are for athletes in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades
only. Please do NOT enter anyone lower than 6th grade. Junior High runners

Team Scoring and Awards
Once all of the races have
been completed, all of the results will be compiled together to arrive at
team scores. The first seven runners for each team, based on
time, will be used for scoring.
Awards will be
given for individual races, for overall performances, and for team
results.
Sanctioning
This event is sanctioned by the National Federation of State
High School Associations for high school competitors from the states of
Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Maine, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island,
and Vermont. High
schools in those states must be members in good standing of their state's
affiliate of the NFHS to compete in the Woods Trail Run. If your high
school is not a member of your state's affiliate, the only way your school
may participate is to get permission or a waiver from your state's
affiliate or from the Vermont Principals' Association. In many cases,
private schools can receive such a waiver.
The NFHS does not sanction any events for junior high
schools. Any junior high school runner in the 6th, 7th, or 8th grade may
compete. No 4th or 5th graders!
Spikes
UPDATE: Cross country spikes may be worn by both High School and Junior High School runners.
