South Bend’s First Official Adult Track Meet

I am planning on hosting our city’s first official Adult Track Meet on Saturday, June 29, 2024. This event will be open to the public for anyone 21+ to participate in. With the exception of hurdles and pole vault due to their technical nature, we will have every “regular” track and field event available for people to participate in (all individual races from 100m to 3200m, 4x800m relays, 4x100m relays, 4x400m relays, and even co-ed 4x100m relays and “big man” relays, so it will be a full track meet that has something for everyone - adult style!

There are plenty of distance races and 5k’s locally, but nothing for those who are not into distance running or only participated in field events in their glory days. I want to fill that gap and offer something fun for those of us who still love the sport. If it has a good turnout, I would love to make this an annual event!
