2023 Race Day Details for Coaches (a copy will be in race packets): 

Spectators:

We recommend using the following address to assist you in locating the proper parking lot/event entrance (instead of the school address): 1300 South Suber Road Greer, SC 29650 (use any parking lot gate to enter). Carpooling is strongly encouraged. Overflow parking is available at Riverside Baptist Church across the street. 

The Spectator Entrance is our "Home" entrance to the football stadium on the side closest to the school (the entrance on the right if looking at the stadium from the parking lot). $2 spectator admission fee instead of parking fee to combat the large traffic back-up and parking issues - can pay at the gate (cash - EXACT CHANGE PREFERRED) or online. Children 1st grade and under are free. NO DOGS ALLOWED.

Open Race participants should use the "Visitors" entrance near the practice field (same one the teams use) to check in and avoid entry fees.
