Race Day Schedule
These start times are approximate. Please arrive early for your scheduled race.  We want to keep the schedule moving, so we will start the next race as soon as possible.  Racing for some circles may go quicker than for other circles.  We will keep everyone informed of schedule updates as the day progresses. 

Each circle will be presented with awards (by their circle leader) after completing their initial race listed below.  At this time, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes will be given to the winners of each circle heat.  At the end of the Nation Finals all contestants will receive a participation trophy.
