Bella Vista High School Girls and Boys Cross Country –

Rules of the Road 

The following are the rules, which should be followed by all Bella Vista High School cross country runners when participating in off-campus running workouts:

1. Each day a course will be set up for all athletes that minimizes the use of busy streets. You must not deviate from the designated course.

2. All athletes will leave campus as a group and be on a specific pace. Check points will be set up on each course, which will be monitored by the coaches.

3. Runners will run on the “buddy system”.

4. Athletes will not stop at stores or school campuses for water. Put you water bottle in one of the coach’s vehicle and get it from him/her at the checkpoints.

5. Cross streets only at controlled intersections with stoplights, stop signs, and crosswalks.  Always look both ways when crossing at the intersection. Do not run against red lights or “jaywalk”.

6. Run on the proper side of the street and where you minimize your exposure to traffic.

7. All runners will end their run on the Bella Vista High School campus at the grove of trees by the northern grass fields and must be checked in by the coaches before going into the locker room.

8. If an athlete intentionally violates these safety regulations, they will be dismissed from the team.

We have read and agree to abide by the rules set forth for participating in off-campus running workouts.
