Fees:    

·       $5.00 per Athlete per Development Meet if Pre-Registered. $7.00 per Athlete per Meet if Registering Day of Meet (Cash or Money orders only - No Checks). There is no fee for the Championship meet if qualified. There will be a $1.00 charge for the initial bib number that is issued to each athlete. This fee will be collected up front regardless of the number of athletes who participate.

·         Note: We will continue to offer an up-front discounted fee for the 2011 Cross Country season.  This fee will be offered for the first two meets only. This system is strictly optional.  The normal registration system (where you pay for each meet individually) will still be in operation each week.  

• The up-front discounted fee allows an athlete to compete in every developmental meet for a reduced fee, which must be paid up-front, at one time.  The athlete is automatically registered for each meet.  They simply report directly to the starting line (no more waiting in a registration line).

• If you wish to take advantage of this opportunity you can make your one time payment of $25.00 on 9/10/2011 or $20.00 on 9/17/2011 at the meet or you can select your athletes and submit an online payment in the Meet Administration center .

·       There will be a fee of $1.00 to replace lost numbers.  You must purchase a replacement number if your assigned number is lost, misplaced or forgotten.  Only Phila. Express issued numbers will be permitted.

Championship Considerations: At the Championship we will be awarding each member of the winning team in each division a customized championship medal.  Each team in a particular age division must submit a team declaration form, accompanied by a $5.00 refundable registration fee, indicating their intention to compete as a team in the championship no later than 10/8/2011 . The Championship Team Declaration Form may be downloaded or picked up at the registration table at meet #5.  The registration fee will be returned on Championship day after the team competes.Team declaration forms will not be returned.  We will also need to see proof of age documentation to verify the ages of all unverified youth athletes. Unverified Athletes will not be allowed to compete in the Championship. The Sub-Bantam Girls, Sub-Bantam Boys, Open Men and Open Women Divisions will only require 3 eligible athletes to compete as a team in the Championship. All other divisions will require 4 eligible athletes to compete as a team in the championship.
