Former King Philip Cross-Country/Track & Field Head Coaches Peter Boucher, Scott Kramer, and Steve Heron will be facilitating a summer track and field series for families and individuals. Ages “1 to 100” are encouraged to join us at the King Philip Track & Field Complex for five evenings of running, jumping, and throwing events. The goal of the Summer Series is to allow young and “older”, as well as those brand new and experienced to track & field to have fun enjoying the sport. Whether someone is simply interested in trying some of the events for the first time or training to stay in shape for an upcoming season, you’ll find this series enjoyable and encouraging for individuals and families.

What Time: Registration starts at 5:30pm; events start at 6 p.m. each night
WHERE: King Philip Track and Field Complex
How Much: 5$ per person per evening for unlimited events or 20$ for the entire series (checks should be made out to Wrentham Rec.)

All events will be run in an age-appropriate manner. Boys and girls will be separate and/or combined in certain events, based prevalently on enrollment.

T-Shirts will be awarded on the final evening to those that have participated in 4 or more of the five evenings. Any remaining t-shirts will be distributed accordingly.
This Summer Track Series is a great way to enjoy the summer evenings and experience Track & Field with friends and family. Track and Field offers a fun event for everyone; come join Wrentham Recreation along with old and new KP Track personnel to see how much fun running, jumping, and throwing can be during the summer.
