Enjoy outdoor track and field at its best in this extravaganza of running, jumping, and throwing at Ithaca High School (not Lansing or Groton this year!). All ages and abilities are welcome—youth, adults, and elites. Running heats will be seeded by time. We’re excited to include the pole vault this year, which will be hosted by the Tompkins County Pole Vault Club. (Bring your own pole unless you’re already training with the TCPVC.)

Want to look as fast as you feel? Order a custom Trackapalooza racing singlet during registration for just $10 and pick it up at the meet (only limited women’s sizes available).

If you’ve never run track before, check out our First-Timers FAQs for Track Meets.

We’re estimating the following schedule for 2025, with heats running slow to fast, but things may change. Make sure to listen to announcements and check in with plenty of time. You can download seed sheets to see when your events are likely to take place. (Times are estimates from 2025; new estimates will be available the night before the meet.)

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 ease parking congestion—sign up to drive or ride.

Bib pickup opens at 8:00 AM. All runners in the first event should have picked up their bibs by 8:45 AM. If you’re running only a late event, you may pick up your bib during the meet, but please check in at least 45 minutes before your heat.

The first event starts at 9:00 AM.

Online registration is required and is open until Friday, July 17 at 5 PM (the night before the meet). There is no day-of-meet registration!
