[Sorry for the resend—the previous one had the date wrong in one spot and I didn’t want anyone confused. The meet is this Sunday, March 12th.]
A quick reminder—FLRC’s final meet of the winter indoor track series will take place on Sunday, March 12th, with the first race starting at 9 AM. Remenber that, in honor of the long jump, the clocks will spring forward by an hour Saturday night.
If you want to run, please register by Saturday at 6 PM. There is no day-of-race registration because we have to seed all the events beforehand—juggling who’s in what heat on the spot is slow and gets messy very quickly.
One additional note: MileSplit just switched from PayPal to Stripe, so when you register, you’ll click a blue Pay With Card button rather than using PayPal. It should be easier, but if it’s a problem, you can pay when you pick up your bib.
-
Events: The March events will be the 3000m, 60m, 1 mile, 200m, long jump, and high jump. We’ll also have a 4x200m relay that you’ll sign up for at the meet.
-
Volunteer: If you’re not running or only want to do one event, please join our highly amiable volunteer crew! We could use a few more people, particularly timers for lane-based races (and we’ll love you for more than your thumb). Volunteers also get snacks and a brightly colored T-shirt. To volunteer, please sign up in Helper Helper (or email me).

MileSplit registration: All registration takes place in MileSplit, which is used by the schools in the area. It can be a little confusing the first time through, so if you have trouble, consult our quick-and-dirty documentation. Some quick tips:
- Look for the green Register Online Now button in the upper-right corner.
- Individuals should read/watch How do I enter an individual in a meet?
- Club coaches should read/watch How do I enter my team into a meet?
- All individuals register as Unattached; teams are only for clubs attending as a group.
- Families should register as individuals; please do not create a team for your family.
- Choose a division based on what you’ll be paying: Non-FLRC Member if you aren’t a club member, FLRC Member if you are, and Financial Aid if a fee would prevent you from participating. The gender of the division doesn’t matter because we combine everything.
- When entering seed (estimated finish) times, leave Meet Name blank. It’s not used.
- You can always log in again to change your seed times or events.
If you have problems, ask MileSplit support at registration@milesplit.com and cc me at ace@tidbits.com so I can see where you’re getting stuck.
Looking forward to seeing lots of people in Barton Hall on Sunday, March 12th!
