The Southern Showcase presented by Huntsville High School
September 17th & 18th, 2021 - John Hunt Park 2151 Airport Rd SW, Huntsville, AL 35801
Course video --- **UPDATE 7/22- we have reached 100 teams registered, so I have placed a password on the meet that you can email me for. At this point I will begin limiting team entry based on competitive status, meaning only teams that would potentially qualify for the championship or blue divisions will be allowed entry over 100 teams, and a total of 120 will be the cap for this year. 20 competitive spots remain as of today**
Timing: Xpress Timing, Dan Passen - See live results at: www.xpresstiming.com
The 2021 offering will continue to be a two day event. The Friday session will be an open 5k day along with the 2 mile races. Below is a hypothetical schedule of events that will hopefully be of some help to you all considering coming to both days - I would highly recommend doing so! UPDATE ON PASTA DINNER - we will NOT be having it this year due to a few unknowns & logistics limitations. It is something we will plan into the 2022 offering*
