Looking to find an event for your aspiring future olympian? We have listed (as best as we can determine at the present time) all the family fun runs and kids runs throughout the state for 2000.

Almost all of these kids events are associated with adult races, and range from short scampers for the very little ones to mile races for families and teenagers.

Marty Schaivone has advised us that the meeting date for the Athlete's Foot/HI-TEK Racing Team was listed incorrectly in the team newsletter. The meeting will be held on March 11th, instead of the March 4th date previously listed in the newsletter.
