Adult Track Meet!
Come on out to the Soldiers Field Track on Tuesday, October 8th at 6pm, and help Save the Track!
What better way to help Save the Track than to hold a track meet! Come get in a hard workout, just have some fun, or re-live the glory days as we run distances from 100 meters all the way up to 3200 meters, with both women's and men's divisions! Ages 12 and up are invited to race, but all ages are welcome to come to the event!
All events will be timed via stopwatch and a race clock, with results shared at the event and online after the event is complete. While we will do our best to keep timing accurate, please remember that this event is just for fun and is not a certified USA Track & Field event.
