Important Information Regarding the Summer and Upcoming XC Season

XC Families:

Welcome back to another season of Mentor XC! Please read the list below for some important information regarding the season.

1. The Pack Club receives funds for providing volunteers for various races throughout the year and the next race is the Captains Grand Slam 5K on Sunday, July 1st at the Captains Stadium in Eastlake. We need volunteers to help on the course, as well as cook and serve hamburgers and hot dogs for the post race celebration. The race starts at 9 am, but volunteers will need to report at 8:15. If you’re able to volunteer, please contact Laurie Ferro (jimlaurief@aol.com) with your name, contact information and t-shirt size (for volunteer shirt). Students are welcome to volunteer also and can receive service hours for their help. Other dates/races to keep in mind are Friday Night Lights 5K on Friday, July 13th and Rock Hall Half Marathon on August 19th. Thank you for supporting the Pack Club!

2. XC Camp is Tuesday, July 17th through Saturday, July 21st. We are looking for volunteers to help with food prep on Tuesday through Friday – another activity which monetarily supports the Pack Club. Prep begins at 8 am each day and involves cutting bagels and fruit, mixing drinks and having everything ready for serving to the runners by 10 am. We also are looking for someone to take on the task of coordinating the food, which involves purchasing and ordering, as well as prepping. If you can volunteer for XC Camp food coordination and/or prep (or you have any questions), please contact Laurie (jimlaurief@aol.com). Again, thanks for your support!

3. If you haven’t already done so, please register/update your runner(s) on Final Forms by going to mentor-oh.finalforms.com. Registering now will help the coaches with the rosters, as well as in the distribution of information to you and your runners.

4. Please check out the Resources section of this website for a PDF/Printable version of the 2018 MXC Race Schedule. Dates have been posted to the website calendar as well.

Our next Pack Club meeting is Tuesday, July 10th at 7 pm (location to be determined). Please join us!!
