Courses

Complete USOF class structure for championship events will be offered for all three races.

Sprint races will use a two-stage format with a compressed three-course formula. This event will also be the 2008 Sprint Series Finals - see sprint race details.
The full USOF standard course structure will be used for Middle and Classic races.
Additionally, recreational (non-competitive) courses of White, Yellow, and Orange, with no pre-registration necessary, will be available on Sat. and Sun. only.

---------- Awards ----------

Each day's race will be treated separately in the awarding of the North American Championships awards to those eligible individuals in each class (see USOF/COF rules). In addition, overall awards will be given to the top three individuals per class of the three-race weekend using a scoring formula based on time. North American Championships awards for Sprint- and Middle-distance races will be presented after Saturday dinner. Classic-distance North American Championships awards and 3-day total awards will be presented at the end of competition on Sunday.
