Course:                       The classic Jackson Park double loop configuration used for the yearly Western North Carolina Cross Country Carnival and 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, & 2001 West Regional Meets. The course does contain a few very short stretches of pavement. If course is dry, regular racing flats or very short spikes are recommended.

 

Race Info:                  Please visit the Roberson web site (www.robersoncc.com) for updated race information.

 

T-shirts:                      Provided by the NCHSAA will be for sell at the Meet. Please pass the word along to the kids. The shirts typically get delivered to us about 2 days before the Meet (they come from the NCHSAA – we have to sell them – we have no choice! The NCHSAA sets the price also.). But generally, they do look pretty good and go fast.      

 

Parking:                      Henderson County Parks and Recreation officials are requesting we use the “main” parking area this year instead of the lot in front of the Parks and Rec. building. This gives us more space for the buses and close proximity to a picnic shelters that have bathrooms. This is the parking lot next to the Basketball Courts.

 

Directions:                  North Entry:

From Interstate 26 – Take exit 49 (highway 64). Go towards downtown Hendersonville. At the 7th light (just over 1.5 miles from I-26), take a left (there’s a small Jackson Park sign). Go 2 blocks and take another left (again, there will be a small sign). This takes you into the Park. See parking above.

 

South (PREFERRED) Entry:

 

This is the preferred entry, and quickest for teams arriving from the South:

From Interstate 26 – take exit 53 (Upward Road). Go towards Hendersonville/Flat Rock 1.4 miles. Take right at 176 (major intersection at Super Ingles Grocery Store). Go 1.4 miles. Take right on Glover Street (there are a couple of small, brown Jackson Park signs before this turn). Go 0.7 miles into South entrance of Jackson Park (note – Glover Street is a small, residential road).
