Whether you're chasing a PR this summer or just looking to test your limits, this is the perfect event to go all-out!
Heats will be seeded based on your entry time to keep things competitive and fair.
Each event will be $15, or $25 for both. Back again by popular demand, we will kick off the meet with the FREE Kids' 100 Meter Fun Run!
Final race schedule to be posted at a later date.
