CARA Track is Colorado's premier Recreation Track Program. Recreation agencies from around the state of Colorado offer this program so young athletes ages 3-16 can participate in a healthy summer activity. Participants are put into heats by gender and age. All participants get a ribbon for each heat. Participants can try different events each week or just stick with their favorites. There are 3 divisions: Northern, Metro, and Southern. The season concludes with a State Meet where divisions compete together.
Parents and Participants: Contact your local Parks & Recreation agency to register!

**Please be aware that all agencies will be required to run an event at each meet. In addition to that, all agencies will be required to provide 1 staff person (coach, trusted volunteer, agency staff) who will serve as staff on the track during the meet. These people will be responsible for handing out ribbons at the finish line, gate keeping to keep parents off the track, and any other areas that the Meet Director or Coach Chairperson deems necessary during the meet. As outlined in the rules, failure to provide this person during the meet will result in a $50 fine payable to the host agency for the first offense, $100 for the 2nd offense, and $250 for the 3rd as well as your agency possibly being placed on CARA probation.
