Our event features a variety of track events, including sprints, middle and long distance races, and team relays, providing opportunities for everyone to participate. Winners in each event will receive fantastic prizes from our generous sponsors! Each year, proceeds from the event benefit a local non-profit organization, helping make a tangible impact in our community.
