The renowned Penn Relays — the oldest and largest track and field meet in the nation — celebrates its 130th anniversary this year.
Each year, more than 100,000 spectators make the pilgrimage to the University of Pennsylvania’s historic Franklin Field (which was constructed in 1895 to hold the event) to cheer on thousands of local and global athletes as they compete in more than 300 track and field events.
The meet includes competitions in high school, college, Olympic and masters divisions, along with a Carnival Village featuring music, merch, apparel and food vendors.
