Future Olympians Track Competition in Cumming Rescheduled To Oct. 20

Forsyth County Parks and Recreation’s Future Olympians Track Competition originally scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 6, has been rescheduled to Sunday, Oct. 20, due to a scheduling conflict. 

The annual event will be held at the track at Forsyth Central High School, with registration at noon and the event beginning at 1 p.m. The fee is $5 per child. 

“The Future Olympians Track Competition is always an afternoon of fun for our county’s elementary school students,” Parks and Recreation Director Jerry Kinsey said in a news release. “We hope everyone will be able to come out and participate on our new date on Oct. 20.” 

The Future Olympians Track Competition is for girls and boys in kindergarten through fifth grade. Participants team up with their school mates to compete against other schools to determine the “2013 Forsyth County Elementary School Track Champion.” 

Medals are presented to those placing first, second and third in an event. Plaques are presented to the schools placing first, second and third in overall points. A plaque is also presented to the school with the most participants. T-shirts will be given to the first 500 registrants. 

Forsyth Central High School is located at 520 Tribble Gap Road in Cumming. For more information about the Future Olympians Track Competition, call Forsyth County Parks and Recreation at 770-781-2215.
