Summer Track 2026 - DRAFT

Time: All meets begin at 7:00 p.m. sharp, rain or shine.
Location: Durham Academy Upper School Track, 3601 Ridge Rd., Durham, NC
Weather policy: Meets will be held rain or shine unless conditions are deemed unsafe (repeated nearby lightning or standing water on the track). Decisions about cancellation or postponement will be based on conditions at the track at starting time and NOT on forecasts!
Cost to participate this summer: This season we suggest that participants contribute $2 per meet (or $5 for a family) to help defray the rental fees for the Durham Academy track. We'll have a bucket on site to accept cash, but if it is more convenient to make your donation online, please use the PayPal Donate button. It is fine to make a single donation in an amount to cover your participation throughout the season. You do not need a PayPal account to use this service. Thanks for supporting Godiva Summer Track!
Water: Runners, please bring your own water.
