Fort Steilacoom Time Schedule

The Fort Steilacoom Invite features a wide variety of races, and coaches may put their athletes into the race that is most beneficial for their athlete or team. There are four important things to remember when entering your team:

In most cases, the girl’s race will start 10 minutes after the boys. That allows us to keep the meet finishing at a reasonable time, and the ability to have a variety of races of races so athletes can run in the race that is most beneficial for them.

We ask that coaches only enter one varsity team in fairness to all other teams. If you have one or two outstanding athletes, you may place up to two in on varsity race and then run a complete team in another division.

Please do not enter any athlete who is likely to run over 30 minutes in any race outside of the final two JV races (with the possible exception of the Girls Bronze division race). The races for 30+ minute runners are the Boys Junior/Senior JV race at 1:55 and the Girls Junior/Senior JV race at 2:05.

In the event of a race recall in a girl’s race, the officials may hold that race until the boy’s race is completed. That is so finishing runners do not have to “weave through” the girl’s race as they approach the mile.

Race Schedule 

We ask that any runners who are likely to finish in over 30 minutes run in the final boys and girls race of the day.
