Godiva Summer Track begins on Wednesday. May 28th at Chapel Hill's Culbreth Middle School, 225 Culbreth Rd, Chapel Hill. (The track  at our most recent venue, Durham Academy Upper School, will be resurfaced this summer.)  While we're opening the season at Culbreth, we may have to move the event in subsequent weeks, but we still plan to have a 10 week season with the last session on August 6th.  There will be no meet on July 2nd, owing to the July 4th holiday that week. 

No registration required, just show up and run/walk as many events as you choose. No track experience required (we have runners young and old among us). No club membership required. Please read on to learn more then join us on the track this summer.

Time: All meets begin at 7:00 p.m. sharp, rain or shine.

Location: Culbreth Middle School, 225 Cullbreth Rd., Chapel Hill

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:  $0 (free!)

Water: Runners, please bring your own water.
