NENSA will distribute the Pre-Event Health Screen as soon as registration closes on March 3rd. Coaches, parents, volunteers, and race officials are also subject to NENSA Health Screening. All attendees will also be required to fill out the CDC Facilities Health Screen the day of the event and show proof of completion upon arrival at the venue. There will be no indoor space for event attendees.
Registration Notes: All parents and coaches must also register (for free). Registration is capped to meet Maine State Gathering size limits. Participant registration includes an event T-Shirt. You can pick your size during checkout. Participants who register after February 17th are not guaranteed a t-shirt!!
