Hello OTC Community,

I'm happy to announce that Hayward Field will finally be open to the community with a big kick off party on Friday, September 23rd! 

The day will start with the Dellinger Invitational Cross Country meet at Pine Ridge Golf Course in Springfield at 11:00 am. This meet will debut the new era of the Oregon Ducks Track & Field/Cross Country program with an exciting race for running fans to cheer on the Ducks.

Following the meet, there will be a dedication of the newly constructed Dellinger Trail - an extension of Pre's Trail into Springfield. This will take place at 5:30 pm at the trailhead near the D Street boat ramp. Coach Dellinger and family are planning to be there as well.

The highlight of the day will be the opening of Hayward Field to the community with an opportunity to meet the new Oregon coaching staff and athletes, enjoy some ice cream, take a few laps on the track, and walk through Hayward Museum. We will cap off this fun evening by watching the inspirational high school cross country movie "McFarland USA" on the big screen! 

Help us spread the word and let's get as many people as possible to take advantage of this FREE event!

See you all on September 23rd and don't forget to wear your Oregon Track Club gear!

Sincerely,

Oregon Track Club Executive Committee
