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!
