The health and well-being of all attendees of NBNO is of the utmost importance. We are closely monitoring the air quality situation from the forest fires in Canada. Based on expert reports, we are optimistic the meet will run off without any issues. We will continue tracking the conditions with close communication with health professionals. We will provide any updates as we receive them.

ATHLETE & COACH ADMISSION

Athletes will be admitted into the stadium using their wristband which they will receive at packet pickup. Since this is their ticket for the weekend, there will be a $20 replacement fee for any lost wristbands.

Each team will receive one coaches pass for every team of 2-5 athletes and one additional coaches pass for each additional 5 athletes.

Every athlete who is competing in the long jump, triple jump, pole vault, and high jump will receive a pink coaches wristband in the packet which will give that coach access to a coaches box by the designated event.

Coaches must show ID that proves they are a coach. That could be a USATF coaching ID, state coaches association ID, or something similar.

If you are picking up an individual packet or single bib number, you MUST have a photo ID with you to get your packet. Parents are expected to purchase tickets – either advanced reserved seating or general admission.

Packet pickup is separated into TEAM and INDIVIDUAL pickup. The week of the meet, a list will be posted online so athletes and coaches will know which line to pick up their packet.

Attached to the race number will be a “backpack ticket.” This ticket must be removed from the bib number by New Balance staff only when redeeming for an athlete commemorative backpack.
