Heading to Maine this summer? Check out one of MECTA's meets. MECTA has been encouraging fitness through track and field for Maine's workplaces since 1987. While the primary goal is to encourage companies to form teams that compete in the league, individuals are also welcome to compete. Check us out at
http://www.mainecorporatetrack.org.
MECTA meets typically draw between 100-180 adults age 18-80+ competing in 10 year age groups. Races are hand timed in sections based on the 10 year age groups. Races 800 and above race genders separately, but all ages together which increases your chances of having someone at your speed to race with.
Events offered: Shot put, Discus, Long Jump, High Jump, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 5K road race
