39th Annual YMCA/Optimist Track Meet

Dust off those track shoes and get ready for a great family event:  the Optimist Club and the Palisades-Malibu YMCA welcome the community to the 39th annual track meet!  On Sunday, May 22, kids from 3 to 15 will gather on the Carl Lewis track on the campus of Pali High.

            First time participants as well as long-time members will be thrilled to test their skills on the new track surface.  Children will line up to see if they can beat last year’s records.

            Registration for the track meet is open now.  Registration forms are available at www.ymcala.org/pm.  The cost is $25, and registration may also be submitted at the YMCA on Via de la Paz.  Everyone wins at the YMCA, with ribbons and t-shirts for all!

            Track and Field is a great sport for kids, and this program positions the little ones along side track teams from local schools.  Inspiration for good health and fitness is shared among the ages.

Proceeds from the track meet support the good works of the YMCA here in Pacific Palisades.  The YMCA builds strong kids, strong families and a strong community by providing opportunities for involvement for people of all ages and backgrounds.  No one is denied access to the YMCA for lack of funds; financial assistance is available for those in need.
