Event Description

This summer community track meet offers affordable track and field competition for all members of the family. The meet offers limited events for age groups including Youth (1st-4th Grade), Middle School (5th-8th Grade), High School (9th to 12th Grade), and Open (Post High School). The entire meet takes place in the evening and lasts 3 to 4 hours. To that end, we ask that athletes limit their participation to a MAXIMUM of two track events and one field event, or one track event and two field events.

Location

The meet is run at the track/football stadium on the grounds of Plainfield South High School. The school is located at 7800 Caton Farm Rd. Plainfield, IL 60586

Pre-registration is available online via Athletic.net. Entry instructions are available here. The cost is $10 for the first event and then $5 for every event after that. Relays are $20. Any athlete enrolled in a Plainfield Pack summer program is also FREE. These groups include Plainfield Pack TFCC and Plainfield Pack Pitbulls. All camp attendees will enroll through their respective coaches.

Meet day registration runs from 3:00 pm - 3:45 pm. Cost for meet day registrants is $20.

Questions

Please direct all specific questions to meet managers Carson Vittorio and Marcus Norment at Plainfield@ThePackTFCC.com. Let us know any special accommodations an athlete may need in order to compete. We will do our best to meet those needs and can best do so if we know in advance. Thanks again for being part of our event!
