There should be reports on the leaders through the morning on NC Runners (mixed in with reports from 2 other big meets in the state). Full results should go up on NC Runners meet page, sometime during the afternoon. Probably late afternoon. NC Runners is planning a preview of the race, but it's not up yet, as of late Friday evening.
It may be too late, but here's an attempt at directions: Google map. I like this map of the course, and this map of the McAlpine Greenway.
Coming from the north on I-77...take Brookshire Freeway (I-277) exit east to
Independence Blvd (U.S. 74). Follow Independence Blvd. east (approx. 6 miles)
until Village Lake Drive. Turn right onto Village Lake Drive. Travel on
Village Lake Drive for less than a mile until it dead ends into
Monroe Road. Turn left onto Monroe Road and McAlpine Creek Park will
be less than a mile on your left (just before Railroad overpass).
And this from WendyV, from 2 years ago: "Usually
if you go past the entrance to the park on your left, you will find
overflow parking on the left at a shopping center just up the road. It
is much easier to get in and out if you park there. Most of the time
volunteers with vests will tell you where you can park - the businesses
that are not open on Saturdays. After you park, you just follow the
others down a bank and go to the right at the bottom. After you pass
the train trestle, you will keep walking and usually see Watauga's tent
on the left. The starting line and finish will be straight ahead."
Here are some of Coach Honea's videos from last year. Girls. Boys.
