Bloom Alumni Cross Country Meet

Calling all Cross Country and Track Alumni to the inaugural Alumni Cross Country Meet.

Meet at Old Bloom and head over to Wilson Woods to run the old 2 Mile Cross Country Course (or what remains of it!)

There is no longer any parking off Route 30, so you can park at the High School or Small Fry baseball field.

Here is how it will work.

HEAD STARTS

8:15 AM - Anyone from the class of 1980 or earlier will start

8:20 AM- Anyone from the class of 1981-1990 will start

8:25 AM- Anyone from the class of 1991-1999 will start

8:27 AM- Anyone from the class of 2000-2010 will start

8:29 AM- Anyone from the class of 2011-2019 will start

8:30 AM- Anyone from the class of 202 through current runners will start

Chip times will be taken.  Scoring will be based on your place regardless of when you started.  Times will be recorded, but will not count in the scoring.

Teams will be based on decades.  Classes of 1950-1980 will be a combined team.  1981-1990 is a team, 91-2000, 2001-2010, 2011-2020, 2021- 2026, and the current team.

5 people complete team scoring.

Friends of Bloom are welcome.

Bloom & Bloom Trail alumni are welcome.  All sports programs now compete under one umbrella now.
