TIFFIN

Tiffin Carnival Information (ATHLETES):
  • We will meet at Troy at 7 a.m. Saturday, and we should return around 2:30 p.m.
  • Eat a good breakfast for this one! You don’t have to wake up super early. Parents, the athletes should pack a good, healthy lunch and a snack to eat when they get to Tiffin. Food high in carbohydrates are preferred. Remember that food helps build up the necessary glycogen, which produces the energy needed in races.
  • Bring water AND a sports drink. You can also bring money and buy some unhealthy food after your race (do NOT eat hot dogs or pizza before you run).
  • Again, we’ll be stressing healthy eating/drinking this season. But it’s good to have one ‘cheat’ meal a week…maybe make the pizza you eat after the race that reward for a week of healthy eating. We have been talking to the team about eating an ‘unhealthy’ meal after their race on Saturday, but keeping it healthy Sunday – Friday.
  • We'll check the weather and make sure everyone's prepared.
  • Results will be posted on baumspage.com.
Tiffin Carnival Information (PARENTS):
  • Information can be found here (including a link to the course map): TIFFIN INFORMATION
  • We will meet at Troy at 7 a.m. Saturday, and we should return around 2:30 p.m.
  • Make sure kids get a healthy breakfast and that they pack a healthy lunch (plus more food than normal…it’s going to be a long day).
  • There will be food and t-shirts available.
  • Watch the time…it is very hectic parking at this meet, since it’s so large. We try to get there a little early so kids can eat, and so we have enough time to find a place to set up camp. Plus, the buses have to wait to get into the park, so it takes time. We try to set up camp right behind the start line, which is very convenient. We will text you where we are at so you can find us!
  • The race is held at Hedges-Boyer Park (491 Coe Street, Tiffin, OH).
  • The meet managers encourage spectators to enter the park using the rear entrance off Summit Street and to park at the bottom of the park. You have to walk to the start/finish (pretty much the same place), but it’s worth it as you’ll end up sitting in your car if you try entering the front of the park (they stop traffic during races). This is better anyway because Coe Street will be PACKED!
  • The start is naturally a good place to watch the race, then turn left, as the kids will run out, turn left, and come back. Then, if you can jog (or walk fast) to the softball field and/or woods, that’s another good place to be. Then find a good spot at the finish! There are a lot of people there so maybe get a little away from the finish…lining up along the last turn to the finish isn’t bad…the kids will be able to see and hear you there.
