🚨 OCTOBER CLASSIC – TIME/VENUE CHANGE 🚨

📍 NEW LOCATION: Texas City High School

Right now, there's a 75% chance of rain on Thursday, hard to tell what time of day it will hit.  Please join the SportsYou group page to stay updated on any weather delays.

📲 ⭐ SPORTSYOU CODE: QEXT579R ⭐ UPDATES WILL ALSO BE POSTED TO 409RELAYS.COM

🏃 COURSE UPDATE

The new course will still feature:

• One 5K lap – Varsity Boys, Varsity Girls & JV Boys

• One 2-mile lap – JV Girls & Freshman Boys

There is a strong possibility that we will need to utilize a portion of the TCHS track as part of the new course. Final course routes will be provided once everything is finalized.

⛺ TEAM CAMPS

All team camps will be located inside the stadium on the home side.

Teams will enter and exit the team camp area directly from the parking lot.

🗺️ MAPS & COURSE ROUTES

Updated parking maps, team camp information, and course routes will be sent out next week.

Please make sure your athletes, coaches, parents, and spectators are aware of the venue change.

We appreciate everyone's flexibility and look forward to hosting you at TCHS!

WE RECOMMEND ARRIVING BY 645 AT THE LATEST.  WE BEGIN SCHOOL AT 7:10AM SO TRAFFIC WILL BEGIN TO GET BAD AROUND THAT TIME.  THE EASIET WAY TO ACCESS THE DROP OFF LOT IS BY GOING DOWN 9TH AVENUE TO 14TH ST AND MAKING A RIGHT.  THEN MAKE ANOTHER RIGHT ON 5TH AVE.  THE DROP OFF LOT WILL BE JUST PAST THE TENNIS COURTS.  

Please note that the October Classic on Thursday, October 1 has been moved from Bay Street Park to Texas City High School (1431 9th Ave N, Texas City, TX 77590) due to construction at Bay Street Park.
