Third Annual King 4x1600 Relay Set For August 6 @ 7:30 p.m.

Looking for a little team-building experience to add spice to summer training?

Here's information from USATF-NE Managing Director Steve Vaitones on the the 3rd annual George & Whitey King 4 x 1600 Relay:

"The third annual George and Whitey King 4 x 1600 relay takes place at Saunders Stadium in South Boston this coming Thursday, August 6, at 7:30 p.m. The race honors a pair of long-time officials who were pretty fair runners back in their day (1950's); George was New England HS XC champ and was on a US Record 4 x 1500 relay (hence the connection). Road folk are often tough to convince to run on the track, but this (and our indoor 4x1600) are low key and a good team opportunity.

Co-Ed and pick-up teams are also allowed. We've had clubs, HS alum quartets, and HS rivals coming together to have some pre-season fun. Awards for winners in all divisions are provided by Harpoon (Root beers for the juniors)."
