It’s time for outdoor track season, and FLRC has two summer meets this year. First up is our Sunset Circuits evening meet at Ithaca High School on Tuesday, June 30, at 6 PM. (The second is our Trackapalooza invitational on Saturday, July 18, at 9 AM, also at Ithaca High School.)
FLRC track meets are family-friendly events and all ages (seriously!) and abilities (really!) are welcome. When you’re not running, you can enjoy watching some of the area’s best runners compete against one another.
- Events: The Sunset Circuits events will be the 100m, 1600m, 200m, 400m, in that order, plus the long jump, high jump, shot put, and discus throughout (thanks to Team SOAR and the Groton Project for managing the field events). We’ll also have a 4x200m relay that you’ll sign up for at the meet. Register today—there is no day-of-race registration!
- Volunteer: If you’re not running or only want to do one event, please join our highly amiable volunteer crew! We need more people, particularly field event helpers and timers for lane-based races (and we’ll love you for more than your thumb). Volunteers also get a brightly colored T-shirt. To volunteer, please sign up in Helper Helper.
- New to track? If you’ve never run a track meet before, or never run one of ours, check out our First-Timer’s FAQ for Track Meets. If you have additional questions, just ask!
- Registration: Our Webscorer registration system has worked well, but please follow the instructions on how to enter seed times correctly. Reply here or email me at ace@tidbits.com if you have questions. Also contact me if you need a new club or school team added to the menu.
- Free post-race massage: Weather permitting, after you cross the finish line, treat yourself to something your legs will thank you for! We’re thrilled to welcome Living Essence Massage Institute (LEMI) as a post-race sponsor, offering free massages to runners at the event. As part of their commitment to the community, LEMI offers a public clinic where students provide massage — and race day is a perfect opportunity to experience their work firsthand. So run hard, then let LEMI take care of the rest!
Looking forward to seeing lots of you at the Ithaca High School track on Tuesday, June 30!
See you at Ithaca High in a few weeks!
