Traverse City Track Club Summer Series
About this race
The Traverse City Track Club presents the 65th Season of its weekly Summer Series running program.
Beginning June 17th through August 19th this 10-week free program for all ages and abilities provides a format enabling participants to run with others at a weekly pre-determined area course, receive an official time, and gather points throughout the 10-week period, to see how they compare to others at the same course.
A point system uses each week’s total number of participants to establish a ranking. Overall standing is based on both participation and finish comparison. At the end of the series, the Top 10-point earners male and female receive awards, and those who participate in all 10 events also receive special recognition.
Most courses originate in Traverse City’s Huron Hills neighborhood. All courses are marked (start/finish), mapped, and previewed on the club’s website.
Following are each week’s proposed events (All with a 6:30pm start time & subject to change):
1. June 17, TC Central High, 3 mile flat
2. June 24, TC Central High, 5K hilly
3. July 1, TC Central High, 4 mile prediction run (leave your watch at home!)
4. July 8, TC Central High, 4 mile handicap run
5. July 15, Rasho Farms, 5K cross country
6. July 22, TC West Middle School, track 5K age-graded (12 ½ laps)
7. July 29, TC Central High, 6 mile handicap
8. August 5, Timber Ridge, 5K on Trails
9. August 12, Eastern Elementary School, 8 x 1k alternating relay combined handicaps
10. August 19, Hull Park, 4 mile; Boardman Lake Loop, followed by awards in Hull Park
The handicap, prediction, and age-graded features for half of the series events allows for those who may be concerned the events are for runners/walkers of all abilities.
To participate in this free program, participants only need to be a member of the Traverse City Track Club and sign-up online at the link: Only one registration is needed for the entire season.
This program has been designed for the over 900 members of the TCTC, but true to the club mission, it is open to anyone who wants to try.
