22nd Annual Olathe East Donut Run
Saturday Morning Rain or Shine 8/31/2013
@ Olathe East HS practice fields
Welcome to the Olathe East Cross Country Donut Run! The purpose of this practice is to
simulate an actual cross country meet including the warm-up, race, cool down, scoring and
awards. With the size of our team, the Donut Run is about the size of a large regular
season cross country race! You’ll meet with your team for a pre-meet course jog, checking
conditions of the course. You’ll warm-up with your team and cool down with them, and
report to the truck (or inside the commons if it’s raining) for awards and cheer on your
team.
For every meet we compete in, you’ll receive a newsletter a couple of days before
with a schedule and course map. Bring these to the meet! They will be a great help in
planning your day.
