HCES & Gulf Winds Team up for Springtime Tallahassee Races on April 6th!

We are excited to announce Gulf Winds Track Club (GWTC) has selected HCES and our new 8-lane collegiate track as one of two not-for-profit beneficiaries of the 2024 Springtime Tallahassee Races. On Saturday morning, April 6, 2024, GWTC will run 3 different length races as part of the annual Springtime Tallahassee events. All three races run through the beautiful downtown of our Capital City. The ongoing partnership between GWTC and HCES will also welcome GWTC members to use our 8-lane collegiate-level track, built with state-of-the-art track materials. 

 

We encourage our HCES community to run in the race or come and cheer on our HCES participants. We plan to have an HCES track and cross country team, led by our cross country and track coaches - Deanna McVay, Lindsay Cheesborough and Carl Jean-Pierre.  Families can run or walk the 1 mile together and of course, individuals can run the longer races. HCES will have a tent with fruit and water at the end to celebrate our HCES racers. 

The track was made possible by an extremely generous gift by Elyse and John Gallegos and family. Elyse, John and their family will be in attendance on Saturday, April 6 coming from Huntsville, Alabama to run and support our new track. Join us and show your support by running, walking, or cheering. Every entry will result in a gift to the HCES track.
