Youth Track Running Series

There is a spectacular event that takes place every summer in Narragansett during July and August. It is absolutely free for children ages 1 through 12 years. Every Monday night starting at 6:00 pm, the Narragansett Youth Running Series takes place and continues for 5 consecutive weeks at Narragansett High School on South Pier Rd. It starts on the first Monday after July 4th. This year's first meet will be on Monday, July 9th. Sign up is at 5:30 pm. On the first night, there are free tee shirts for all of the children (while they last). At 6:00 pm, there is a warm up. After the warm up, there are running events that the children can pick and choose to participate in. There are also field exercises. There is free watermelon, water, lemonade, and free blue ribbons for every child who runs. The music is provided by a fabulous DJ. The Youth Series is presented by the Narragansett Running Association and their many wonderful volunteers who work very hard to make this event possible. And there are many area merchants who generously sponsor the series. It is a lot of fun! Don't miss it!!
