If you plan to run the 1000 meters at Friday s Holiday Classic in the Armory, we strongly recommend arriving early.

The meet begins at 9 a.m. with a racewalk that should last roughly 20 minutes, so the first heat of the 1000 will go off after that. Another reason to plan to be early: On Sunday, at the MAC season opener, registration was a little chaotic. The line of athletes trying to sign up was very long, and the meet was just for open and masters. This one includes youth.
