Athletic.net Results

Many thanks to all the home and away parents, friends, and family that pitched in!

Team Pictures tomorrow 10/9

Color run complete

That was awesome! Pick will be up at school tomorrow.

Leaving now should be back to RPMS at 7:10pm.

Splat Fun RUN!

Tuesday 8th at Northview Crossroads Middle School, 4400 Ambrose Ave NE

Grand Rapids, MI 49525 .

Girls will run 1st at 4:15, 7th graders then 8th graders.

Boys will run around 4:45, 7th then 8th.

They have more runners than they originally planned for so are running 4 races instead of 2. I am guessing they will do a staggered start, so if you want to watch I would plan on arriving early, 4pm and just enjoying the whole show so you don't miss your runner. 

I hope we are back around 7pm...check blog for ETA. Sorry we have never done a race like this so I am not sure what to expect.

Runners need to bring:

• shoes (bring old ones if you got them)
• old clothes (they will get "paint" on them)
• old towel
• water
• snack (I'd bring 2 because 7pm without dinner is tough)

This is going to be AWESOME!!!!
