Looking for a family-friendly event for a warm summer evening? Come run FLRC’s summer track meets at Ithaca High School (not Lansing or Groton this year!), where you can test your fitness on the 400-meter track as the heat of the day subsides. All ages (seriously!) and abilities (really!) are welcome in these low-key meets, and when you’re not running, you can enjoy watching some of the area’s best runners compete against one another. Join the fun and get ready for Trackapalooza in July!

If you haven’t run a track meet before, read our First-Timers FAQs for Track Meets.

With help from the SOAR Running Club and the Groton Project, we’re including the long jump, high jump, shot put, and discus. These field event competitions will be low-key and are a great opportunity for kids who want to do more than run.

June’s events will be run in this order, with each event’s heats running slow to fast. Seed sheets are now available. (Times are estimates from 2025; new 2026 estimates will be posted in the afternoon before the meet.)

• 100m (8 heats, 6:00pm-6:30pm)
• 1600m (4 heats, 6:30pm–7:10pm)
• 200m (7 heats, 7:10pm-7:30pm)
• 400m (7 heats, 7:30pm–8:00pm)
• 4x200m relay (8:00pm–8:15pm)
• Long jump, high jump, shot put, and discus will take place throughout, thanks to Team SOAR and the Groton Project

The meet takes place at the Ithaca High School track, 1401 N Cayuga St, Ithaca, NY 14850. There is ample free parking.

FLRC encourages runners to carpool to make the race more inclusive for those without cars, help fight climate change, and reduce parking congestion—sign up to drive or ride.

• Bib pickup from 5:00–5:45 PM.
• The first event starts at 6:00 PM, and meets generally go until 8:00 or 9:00.

Online registration is required and is open until 12:00 noon the day of the meet. There is no in-person registration at the meet.

If you have trouble registering, or if you need to change a seed time, email meet director Adam Engst with your name, age, sex, and event seed times before noon on the day of the meet.

• Non-FLRC member: $15 (save money if you join the club)
• FLRC member: $10 (thanks for supporting running in the area)
• Financial Aid: $0 (we don’t want anyone skipping the meet due to cost)
• Team or Club: $3 per runner (this is for schools and clubs, not families))

• Spikes are fine, and if you choose to wear spikes, pyramid spikes are recommended.
• Starting blocks are allowed, but you’ll have to bring your own.
• Registration for relays is available only at the meet; fill out and submit a relay registration card at the desk.
• Please predict realistic finish times when registering so we can seed you in an appropriate heat.

• Timing is done by hand, with a Time Machine, not a camera-based fully automatic timing (FAT) system.
