Let's keep running! BTC Mini-Meets @ Samford Univerity

Are you looking for something fun to do with your family and friends at no cost?   Here's something that fits the bill:    The BTC Mini-Meet program resumed its monthly “track meets" and they want you to participate.   The meets are held at the Samford University track on the south side of Lakeshore Drive, across from the football stadium. 

The mini-meets are open to all and to all ages.  The meets are well-suited to families and  groups, such as scouts or school classes where there is a fitness run requirement. The meets have no strict format.  Informality and providing an opportunity for all to participate in a very casual track meet setting is key.
