This week marks a very special 130th edition of the annual Penn Relays, which are bringing the competition back to Philadelphia for another year.
Hosted by the University of Pennsylvania since 1895, the Penn Relays feature more than 15,000 athletes and 100 events at historic Franklin Field every year. Teams and runners at the middle school, high school and collegiate level set records at this meet each April.
Previously referred to as the "Penn Relay Carnival", this event has brought a fun environment and intense competitions for more than a century. This weekend is just another opportunity for athletes to make their mark in a historical setting.
Be sure to tune in for all the festivities in Philly.
