Over the summer, we had many Harbour Athletes racing all over the province, the country and a few even around the world! Here are a few of the many highlights:
Hamilton Twilight Series
We hosted four Hamilton Twilight Track Meets in our Summer Series this year. Thanks to all the racers, coaches, officials and volunteers for making each one a huge success! Hamilton is a great place to run fast, as we saw tons of PBs, a few new records and even a two American Paralympic records. If you didn't get a chance to win a swanky button, they will be back next year!
