AMHERST, N.Y. - The Daemen University Summer Track Series returns to the calendar for Western New York runners next month. Conducted by the Daemen cross country/track and field coaching staff, the Summer Track Series offers competitions for avid runners - both adults and children - on four successive Thursday evenings.

The Daemen Summer Track Series moves to Sweet Home High School with meets slated for July 13, 20, 27 and August 3. Each meet is open to any and all interested participants, regardless of age or running experience. Events include sprints of 100 (ages 18 & under only), 200 and 400 meters, middle distance runs of 800 meters and one mile as well as a long distance run of 3,200 meters. There will also be a 4x400 meter relay and, for the second straight year, the series includes field events, offering the long jump and shot put.

A weekly registration fee will be charged to each participant, and all proceeds benefit the Daemen cross country/track and field program. Registration fees are done by age groups: $15 for ages 18+; $12 for ages 12-17; $7 for ages 11 and under.

Pre-registration is available online. Walk-up registration begins each Thursday at 5 p.m. with running events slated for a 6 p.m. start. The track is located inside the stadium at Sweet Home High School at 1901 Sweet Home Road.
