Team FTC Kids Track Meet

FREE Youth Track Meet hosted by TEAM FTC KIDS! 

Join us for a fun-filled evening of racing, games, and community at the TEAM FTC KIDS Youth Track Meet! This event is completely FREE and open to all youth ages 5–14 — no experience necessary!

This event also celebrates the upcoming August launch of our new youth running club — TEAM FTC KIDS!
Our club will offer structured practices, age-appropriate training, and year-round support for young athletes who want to grow in the sports of cross country and track! More information will be provided at the meet.
