Come One, Come All!

One of our favorite months of the year is June. 
YES! Of course we love the change in weather. 
​YES! Of course we love the fresh produce and farmer's markets.  
YES! Of course we love the amazing camping trips we take.  
Also, though, our boys absolutely love to participate in the Burlington All Comer's Track Meets*!

Our oldest two participated in a "Kids Run the Nation" program this Spring, so these track meets were the perfect culmination to their weeks of hard work.  Dr. Matt loved taking an early afternoon to participate and see his boys compete.

*All Comer's Track Meet = "ACTM"

We started participating in the ACTMs about four years ago.  All three of our older boys now LOVE to join in the fun. Our two middle boys, Teddy and Sammy, both started when they were only two years old.  

If you've never been to an ACTM, it is a track meet that is meant for every person in the community who wants to participate, ages 1-100+.  We have routinely seen a cute "little old lady" participate in many of the events throughout the years.  We LOVE the wide span of ages and abilities.  

There are three field events for little kids - long jump, shot put, and softball throw.  Older kids can also participate in high jump, and some even participate in pole vault! 

Track events include:

• 50M hurdles for young kids, 100M hurdles for olders
• 50M/100M/200M dash
• 400M/800M/1600M races
• Jogger's mile (guess your time to win a t-shirt!)
• Relay (we need to get Benny walking and then we have a relay team of our own!)

There are plenty of ribbons to go around for everyone, including placing 1st-3rd in many races and events.  

Timmy, 8 loves the hurdles!

Sammy, 5 winds up for a softball throw!

Teddy, 3 has a huge smile while he runs!

Sammy got a blue ribbon for this jump!

Such hard work on this 9:01 mile!

​We love the sportsmanship, fun, and family time!  It's a fabulous way to spend a summer evening.  We always pack a picnic lunch and make a night of it.  The boys love to bring a soccer ball and make friends while they wait for their races.  Plan on a bit of time - for us, It's a full 3 hours to participate in the entire event!

During July, Marysville will be hosting a four-week series of All Comers Track Meets!  They will be on Thursday nights from 6-8:30 p.m., starting July 11 at Lakewood High School.  Learn more here.
