Overview
Summer All-Comer Track Meets
2025 DATES SET! ALL ages welcome!
NOTICE FOR 2026:
Unfortunately, the unhealthy liability/waiver risk climate that has plagued many states—and is even more pronounced in Oregon—has adversely impacted many outdoor recreation providers, both large and small. Without getting into details, we have paused all programming for the time being. It breaks our heart to not offer these programs after over 2 decades and over 10,000 families enjoying our programs and meets. Currently, if someone breaks their wrist or their toe running or jumping, we can be sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Insurance becomes cost prohibitive to allow us to offer the professional and low-to-zero cost kind of programming that we are known for. Fortunately, there has been progress in the Oregon Legislature. Unfortunately, we are still currently facing hurdles based on precedential factors.
Join us for our celebrated summer track meets! It’s track…just for the fun of it! Kids and adults of all ages are invited to this 30+ year Portland tradition as Foot Traffic, Portland Parks, and partnering high schools host weekly track meets featuring all kinds of track and field events (see schedule below).
Each year over 1,000 participants, both young and old, get their track fix over the course of these relaxed, evening track meets. Check the updated schedule below.
There are no official results, but we provide finisher ribbons and structure to allow excellent competition based on age groups (as close as possible!). The fun starts with the 60 meters for kids and continues with multiple events and ends with the 4 x 100 relay at 7:45 with many events in between.
