Godiva Summer Track begins on Wednesday. May 28th at Chapel Hill's Culbreth Middle School, 225 Culbreth Rd, Chapel Hill. (The track at our most recent venue, Durham Academy Upper School, will be resurfaced this summer.) While we're opening the season at Culbreth, we may have to move the event in subsequent weeks, but we still plan to have a 10 week season with the last session on August 6th. There will be no meet on July 2nd, owing to the July 4th holiday that week.
No registration required, just show up and run/walk as many events as you choose. No track experience required (we have runners young and old among us). No club membership required. Please read on to learn more then join us on the track this summer.
Sixty members gathered at Boxyard RTP to celebrate 50 years of Carolina Godiva Track Club by doing a commemorative run of 50 x 1 mile, with staggered starts over 50 minutes. Club Founder David Royle led off, followed by Roland Rust, another early leader of CGTC. The weather was ideal, birthday cake was plentiful, and a good time was had by all. Here's a 50 for 50 photo gallery, thanks to Patrick Gale.
