The All-Comers Track Meet is Back! (WU-600)

Kiwanis Club of Bainbridge Island members Jim Copen, Elizabeth Ozimek and Paul Benton join us today on What’s Up Bainbridge to discuss the return of the very popular All-Comers Track Meet. Not held since 2019 due to the pandemic, the 20-year tradition draws dozens of kids and their parents Monday evenings for six weeks in July and August.

In addition to the many age group races, this year there will be two kid-friendly field events, the standing long jump into a sand pit and a safely organized shot put using soft exercise balls.

The meets take place at 5:30 p.m. at the Woodward Middle School track July 11, 18 & 25 and August 1, 8 & 15

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
