San Diego boasts series of cheap winter, summer all-comers meets

Paul Greer of SDTC also announces meets and races.

Former sub-4 miler Paul Greer has been the force behind a series of USATF-sanctioned, auto-timed all-comers meets in San Diego. Last week, I attended a meeting where the dates were finalized. Monday, he circulated information on the series. New this year is the use of DirectAtlhletics.com for preregistration. But entrants can still show up the day of the event and enter for $7 an event. Paul writes: “Provided is our 2013 San Diego Track Club Winter Track Classic Series Schedule along with the 2014 Summer Nights Track and Field Series Schedule. I am also including the first two event flyers for this year’s 2013 Winter Track Classic which includes the Cathedral All Comers Distance Carnival on Tuesday, November 26 along with the SDSU Red-Black All Comers meet on Saturday, December 7th.”

Paul continues: 
 

I would like to alert everyone regarding two big items that are new with respect to both of these series this upcoming year:
 
1. The San Diego Track Club is now the title sponsor for the 2013/14 Winter Track Classic Series. We welcome their involvement this year as this organization has a long history of tradition here in
San Diego.
 
2. The Summer Nights Track and Field Series will now be offering Pre-registration through www.directathletics.com

Participants will still obviously be able to register on the date of each event but this is a great opportunity to encourage people to register for events under a much easier format. Keep in mind the San Diego Track Club Winter Track Classic Series will be offering day of meet registration only. We are excited to have Sweetwater High School as a new event this year as part of the Winter Track Classic Series. United States Track and Field San Diego as again our title sponsor for next year’s Summer Nights Track and Field Series.
 
Please take the time to share this opportunity with everyone you know from your contacts and address
books who have an interest in track and field and remember all ages, levels and abilities are welcome at both the Winter Track Classic and Summer Nights Series events.
 
We look forward to seeing all of you at our first Winter Track Classic event on Tuesday,
November 26th at Cathedral High School. For more information regarding the Winter series and next year’s
Summer Nights Track and Field Series please go to www.summernightstrack.com
 
Continue on with the wonder that is you and the journey continues with respect to
bringing back track and field to the hearts and minds of everyone who
participate.
