TCTC Summer Track Series

The TCTC Summer Track Series offers free Wednesday evening track meets at Bob Sosnik Track in Hanes Park, Winston-Salem, from late May to mid-June. Each meet begins at 6:00 PM, featuring a mile, 400 meters, 800 meters, 100 meters, and a 2-mile cross-country option. Runners may enter multiple events, with later start times being approximate after the initial mile race. The series is open to participants of all ages and abilities, not exclusively TCTC members. The atmosphere is intentionally low-key: a digital clock is provided, but there is no official timing or record-keeping. Heats are organized by similar ability when necessary. The 100-meter race utilizes lanes, and the 2-mile cross-country event runs as a single heat. Standard running shoes and quarter-inch spikes are permitted. The series also functions as preparation for the TCTC Ultimate Runner event, held on the fourth Saturday in June with a limit of approximately 100 participants. In this event, runners must complete five races in one evening to receive a score, a shirt, and a 4.91 Ultimate Runner car decal.
