The

Peachtree City Running Club made a donation awhile back

to help expand the facilities for the McIntosh track

team, and now they're getting their use out of it.

Starting

this Wednesday, the club invites runners of all ages and

abilities to participate in the Summer Track Series. All

events will take place on the new rubberized track at

McIntosh High School.

The series

will run every Wednesday evening, beginning at 6 p.m.

There will be a number of heats based on the number of

runners and their abilities.

The events

that will be offered will be the 50-yard dash (for ages

10 and under), the 100-, 200-, and 400-meter dash, the

800-, 1,600-, and 3,200-meter run, the three-mile run and

the 400- and 1,600- meter relays. There will be a

championship July 13 and 14.

The series

is free to participants and to spectators.

The running

club has certainly felt the growth. It now has more than

150 members who continue to open their arms to all age

groups, sponsoring fun runs, youth triathalons and now

the summer track series.

After the

events each Wednesday, the group will head over to

Partners Pizza II for food, drink and merriment. For
