2008 Summer Track Series

Each year, GWTC partners with the City of Tallahassee to hold a series of summer track meets. The meets start on Thursday, June 5, 2008 and continue each Thursday for eight weeks until July 31. The meet will not be held on July 3, as the staff and volunteers take off for the 4th of July. The meets are held at the Maclay High School track and start at 6:45. Events alternate each week according to the schedule below. One event is selected as a GWTC Grand Prix event each week, with progressive increases in distance (the first week is the 100 meter, then 200 meter, then 400 meter, etc. ). The 40 meter “diaper dash” is held first for kids under 5 years of age, and there are lots of small tykes who have a great time. For questions, contact Tom Perkins at 894-2019.<
