Hosting a high school cross country meet?
I am hosting a high school cross country meet for the 1st time. I know that I need to map out a course and mark it. Also get some volunteers to work out on the course. I have ran in a meet and volunteered on the course but I have never hosting one from the ground up! Any suggestions or tips on what needs to be done to make the meet successful.
Make certain the course is well marked and you have enough marshalls to keep everyone on the course.
Have enough people at the finish line so the order of finish is kept moving. If someone stops pull them out of the chute and have someone to walk to the end of the chute so their number is kept in order without stacking up the finish line so runners can not get to the finish.
Use banners to keep spectators off the course especially near the finish.
Use a back up timing system for all races.
You can record the finishers so you know if the timing and places are correct.
That makes a big difference when scoring team standings, often you must use the 5th place finish to break ties on points.
If you have enough help you can award trophies and medals as soon as everyone is finished, no one wants to wait a long time after the race.
Start on time.

Paul Mitchell The School Jacksonville and Paul Mitchell Schools Raise $1.2 Million for Charity
Jacksonville, Florida – Despite continuing reports about the failing economy, future professionals from Paul Mitchell The School Jacksonville and the nationwide Paul Mitchell beauty school network spent the months of February through April raising over $1.2 million in their annual charity “FUNraising” campaign. Now in its seventh year, the annual campaign surpassed all previous records and brought the combined total to more than $4.4 million.
For those who wonder why a group of students would be so passionate about raising money for charity, the answer lies in the organization’s unique culture, whose stated mission is to create “Happy, successful future professionals.”
“Giving back is a cornerstone of our philosophy,” says school Dean and Cofounder Winn Claybaugh. “Of course we teach the skills needed for a successful career, but we also teach the skills needed for a successful life, and those include being nice and giving back.”
Rather than seeking huge corporate donations, future professionals raised most of the money through grassroots events like cut-a-thons, hair shows, car washes, bake sales, and “Casual for a Cause” days, with donations averaging $5 to $10. The funds will be distributed to the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation, the Larry King Cardiac Foundation, Children’s Miracle Network, Food 4 Africa, and the schools’ own nonprofit organization, the Andrew Gomez Dream Foundation.
Claybaugh announced the results at a gala dinner at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach, California, on April 25, 2010. The event was hosted by Claybaugh and representatives from the sponsored charities, including radio and TV personality Leeza Gibbons, entertainer Donny Osmond, Paul Mitchell CEO and Cofounder John Paul DeJoria, and Paul Mitchell Co-owner and salon owner Angus Mitchell.
A packed audience cheered as the top ten FUNraising schools were announced. For the second year in a row, Paul Mitchell The School – Salt Lake City took top honors, raising $73,104. The top 10 individual FUNraisers were also recognized at the dinner, along with winners of the schools’ recent “Why It’s Cool to Be a Paul Mitchell Future Professional / Work at a Paul Mitchell School” YouTube video contest.
As a special surprise, Donny Osmond brought his band and sang several songs for the crowd. “When Winn Claybaugh contacted Marie and me with an offer to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network, we were surprised, to say the least,” Donny said. “I was blown away when Winn told me that, due to all your hard work and the success of this year’s FUNraising campaign, the check to Children’s Miracle Network is not for $100,000 as originally promised, but for $200,000! Talk about over delivering, something I have come to expect from the Paul Mitchell family. You guys are amazing!”
Leeza Gibbons, who has been involved with the annual campaign since its inception, said, “Once again the future professionals from Paul Mitchell Schools exceeded all expectations, raising over $1.2 million. This was after raising $100,000 for Haiti relief just prior to this campaign. Year after year, these future professionals show up, lead by example, and inspire us all to make a difference in the lives of those who need help most. I feel so blessed to have the embrace of all the ‘Paul Mitchell people’ — simply the coolest people on earth!”
“What a delightful evening,” added Paul Mitchell Chairman and CEO John Paul DeJoria. “Not just to have Donny Osmond, Leeza Gibbons, Larry King, and Winn Claybaugh take the time to individually take a photo with each of our 104 school owners, but to think that the great Donny Osmond was so appreciative for the donation to Children’s Miracle Network that he brought his band in to do a fabulous performance for the whole crowd. These are some of the extra-exciting ways one sees how giving back truly pays back.”
Additional special guests included Biggest Loser chef and cookbook author Devin Alexander (representing the Larry King Cardiac Foundation), Olympic gold medalist Peter Vidmar, Survivor finalist Alexis Jones, comedian Kathy Buckley, Invisible Children Cofounder Bobby Bailey, motivational speakers Patrick John Hughes and Patrick Henry Hughes, and Children’s Miracle Network Vice President of Sponsor Relations Rod Hamson, who said, “This is truly a night I will always remember. Not only were the results of the FUNraising memorable, but the interaction of the future professionals with each other, their positive attitudes toward life, and the love that they have for what they do was truly reflected in their willingness to raise money for others. I left that night inspired by their energy.”
