This isn't your typical race. It's a laid-back, summer event where runners of all levels come together to move, cheer, and connect. New to running? We’ve got a spot for you. Been chasing PRs since high school? Let’s see what you’ve got.

We’re here to grow the love of track in our town — and we want you to be part of it. Grab your friends, your old racing flats, or just your curiosity, and meet us on the oval. We will have some giveaways, prizes $$, and light refreshments available!

Let’s continue to make something fast, fun, and totally fresh.
We’ll see you on the oval!
