Dear Parent/Guardian:

Our students will have a bus transport them to and from the race, departing Charlotte Small around 8:45am and returning around 2:00pm. The run is 2 Km for grades 4 and 5, and 3km for grade 6 students. The run will take students through varied terrain, rolling hills, with mostly grassy footing. There is no pavement and very little gravel along the course. All parts of each course feature enough width to accommodate many runners at one time. There will be a concession available to students and spectators on the grounds.
Mr. Whitecotton will submit runner registration upon completion of this form. Please have the attached form returned to Mr. Whitecotton no later than Monday, Sept 30th. The race does include a $15 fee, please submit this on school cash online, which can be found on the Charlotte Small Elementary School website.
