I so hope RunningLane sticks around and replaces Eastbay and NXN. Both of them refused to change or become one meet over the past decade.

RunningLane makes the regular season matter. Teams and individuals have to build their resumes throughout the season to earn their spots in the championship race.

So local and state meets don’t already matter independent of any national exhibition long after their training peaks and kids earn their spot in a national meet without running against the kids they are compared against? Got it.

Imo A fast kid probably isn’t trying to peak for their state meet and training through it to go to one of the bigger meets.

Is it just me, or is the web page devoid of information right now?

Meet locations, schedules, etc.

Probably just having a conversation with myself on this point, but all the relevant information is apparently found by clicking on the “register” button and scrolling to the very bottom. It’s not on the “more info” page.

The main page is lacking significantly. You have to click on the registration tab to get specific details.

Now look who's responding to himself... didn't see your response until after I replied.

Any links thus far to the postseason meets that would indicate which runners have registered for RunningLane or Regionals (Eastbay and NXN)?

Also, why would any top runner go to NXN Regionals this year without a corresponding NXN National meet being held?

Runninglane entries are on their site. Calendar makes sense for many to run NXR. Heartland for example is this Sunday. Two weeks later is Eastbay. Runninglane is the following week. If runners skip NXR, it could be four weeks without a race.

Is there a list available that indicates who has registered for the various Eastbay Regional races?

What happens here now that Eastbay is no more? Defunct? FL take it back? Champs? Sold to NB?

What are you talking about? I haven't heard any news regarding Eastbay. What exactly happened to Eastbay?

I am assuming the poster means this - the brand was merged with Champs. assumption they will just use this whole new long brand name.

Foot Locker Merges Champs Sports And Eastbay Brands

Foot Locker announced it is officially merging its Champs Sports and Eastbay brands after integrating the corporate organizations for both banners last year.

They did a whole presentation about this at Nationals. Basically, they did a brand realignment and Eastbay is the brand they will be pushing and wanted on the meets. If anything has changed since then, I haven’t heard about it,

A whole presentation at Nationals? I don't remember that. Where did that presentation happen? Do you mean at the hotel for the runners?

The race was still always sponsored by the same corporation, the old Woolworth's - which many young posters here don't even remember.

Kinney Shoes, Foot Locker and Eastbay were all owned by the same parent company. The name changes were just rebranding.
