Bleachers will also be set up to allow spectators a better view of the action.<\/p>\n<p>Golf carts will also be in use throughout the day to help transport spectators.<\/p>\n<p>Squier has also opened up the course for any opposing teams who would like to designate a time for a practice run. Teams will also be allowed to tour the course on the day of the race from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>When the meet is over, results will be posted at www.runhigh.com and on the Dist.
