Armory Kicking Off Indoor Season With Big NYRR Youth JamboreePublished by
On October 24, the New Balance Track & Field Center at the Armory will kick off its indoor season with this one of a kind track and field experience! All children, from pre-K to high school, are welcome to compete in this fun, free track and field event. Thousands are expected to compete, with many taking their first racing steps. On the track, we’ll have races from 55 to 200 meters, relays, and a special 55-meter dash for pre-K kids. Students can also try two of the most exciting field events: the long jump and the shot put. This year will also feature the return of the Forever Young Invitational Dash. Adults 75 and older will be running the 55-meter dash to show you can be healthy and happy at any age!
