Meet Information
Dear Cross Country Coaches,
Galveston Ball will be hosting the Beach Run on Friday, September 08, 2023.
The entry fee will be $60.00 per team, per gender. ($120.00 for both)
There will be two divisions: Division I will be composed of stronger 5A/6A schools. Division II will consist of smaller schools and other large schools. If you have a preference, please let me know early. Both divisions will be divided equally. The course will be on the beach 95 -100 % on packed sand. We will send a map with details as time gets closer. All timing will be done electronically. There will be a limit of 10 runners per school in each varsity division. This should help lighten the JV races. All varsity races will be 5K. This will be determined by the heat. There is no limit to the number of runners in the JV and Freshmen divisions.
Below is a tentative time schedule.
7:30 am All Divisions Check-In
8:00 am Division I Varsity Boys
8:30 am Division I Varsity Girls
