NOTE: All State Final races (Boys and Girls) are 3.0 miles. Distance range for Regionals and/or Sectionals is
2.75 miles (minimum) to 5K or 3.12 miles (maximum). Race and Awards Ceremony will be conducted at
Detweiller Park, Peoria, just off State Highway 29 North of Peoria.
Scoring: All levels: A maximum of seven (7) runners may compete in a given meet, and the first five (5) finishing
runners will count in the team scoring. If less than five (5) runners compete for a school, it cannot be eligible for team
scoring, but the individuals on the team are eligible for individual honors.
State Final Parking Fee: Admission fees will be collected at each of the parking lots in or adjacent to
Detweiller Park. The fees for Cars=$10.00; Van (extended 15 passenger type) = $15.00; Bus=$25.00. The IHSA
encourages spectators to take advantage of this admission price. Obviously it is far more economical to
share the ride with others attending this event. The admission price is the same for a car containing four
105
people or only one person. The prices are per vehicle, not the number of people in the vehicle. Schools,
coaches and athletes are encouraged to share this information with their fans.
Pets: Individuals are prohibited from bringing any type of pet to the State Final, with the exception of service and
seeing-eye dogs.
