Enjoy outdoor track and field at its best in this extravaganza of running, jumping, and throwing. 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 (limited sizes available).
