    1. Collect flagging from course coordinator the week of the race and attend briefing. 
    2. Mark the course with a pink flag every ¼ mile, considering the line of sight. Flags should always be placed beyond an intersection if the course does not turn. If the course is turning at an intersection, use a minimum of 4 flags, creating an arc to show the path. Place an additional flag in sight from the intersection. 
    3. Use blue X flags to make the “wrong way.” These flags are useful if the course makes a hard turn.
    4. Report any course conditions to Ellen and return addional flagging.
