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.

The mini-meets are held on the second Sunday of each month, with the next few meets taking place on October 9, November 13, and December 11. During the warmer months (including October 9), the mini-meets start at 4:30 P.M., and, during the colder months, the meets start at 3:30 P.M.      Meets usually last about an hour and are held unless there are adverse weather conditions at noon on the day of the meet.

There is no cost or pre-registration in order to participate. Just show up about 15-20 minutes before the start to sign up then  run.   Depending on participation, the meets consists of  50, 100, 200, and 400 meter dashes, 800 and 1600 meter runs, and a family relay (50, 50, 100, and 200 meters or variations).  Currently there are no field events but some may be added in the future
