USATF Junior Olympic XC Regional Meet

  • Whisper Running Vancouver, WA 98684 USA (map)

GENERAL INFORMATION:

TRAVEL: This event is held Farragut State Park in Athol, Idaho, which is a 6-7 hour drive from Vancouver.

FRIDAY
COURSE PREVIEW (OPTIONAL):
Coach Dave will be at Farragut Park at 3pm on Friday for an optional course preview. This will allow us time to check into our hotel room (see Lodging below) and make it to dinner (see Dinner below) on-time. Plan to depart Farragut Park by 3pm (depending on weather and the timeliness of everyone showing up) so we can get to the hotel for check-in. The course preview should take 30-60 minutes. We will have a team meeting in Coach Dave’s room after dinner to review the courses and do team stuff.

LODGING: We have rooms reserved at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Coeur D’Alene, 230 W Seltice Way in Coeur d’Alene, ID. If you choose to stay at a different hotel for convenience it’s totally okay. If you plan to stay with the team, use this link to reserve your room.
