Fern Creek Hokum-Karem Cross Country Meet

Thursday, September 4, 2008

Charlie Vettiner Park, Louisville, KY

 

A hokum-karem is a cross country relay race.  Runners will run in pairs, with one member of the pair running while the other rests.  We won’t carry batons, “exchanges” will be by the slap of the hand.  The first leg for each runner will be 3,000m, and the second leg will be 2,000m, for a total of 10,000m for each pair.

 

As they become available, course maps, participating teams, rosters, HyTek file, etc., will be posted here.

SCHEDULE CHANGE:  Due to heat restrictions, the boys and girls races will be combined into a single race beginning at 7:00pm.

A team consists of at least 3 pairs of runners.  Results will be based on time, with the lowest total time of the first 3 pairs winning.  Multiple teams may be entered.  If you have an odd number of runners, we will pair extras up with a runner from another team so that everybody gets to run.

JV:                   Pairs:  1-15 medals, 16-50 ribbons; Teams:  1-2 Trophies

 

Individual awards will be given out in the finish chute.

 

Entry Deadline

All entries are due to bcrumbo@yahoo.com by Thursday, August 28. Entries submitted after Thursday, August 28, will be charged an additional $30 late fee.  Entries will likely be done by fax/email since HyTek does not lend itself well to paired entries.
