Children can jump, run, and dash like high school students Thursday, August 1, 2024, at the annual Meet & A Movie event at Plainfield High School-Central Campus.
The PHSCC track and cross-country teams will host the event that starts at 5:30 p.m. with registration. PHSCC is located at 24120 W. Fort Beggs Drive, Plainfield. Field events begin at 5:45 p.m. and running events will start at 6:15 p.m.
Participants can then stay after the physical activity to see the “Super Mario Brothers Movie” shown on the video scoreboard on the football field.
Admission is $5 and includes unlimited access to several field and track events including the long and high jump, toddler dash, mini-hurdles, a 20-, 100- and 400-meter dashes, one-mile run, and a family relay race. Proceeds will benefit the PHSCC track program.
Families are encouraged to bring a blanket and spread out on the football field to watch the animated film.
