What do you do when people keep asking you to put on another track meet for your community? Well, if you're Anastasia Harris, you plan weekly track practices and multiple track meets a year and call them Run it Back. Elaine attended the 3rd track meet of the season and had a lot of fun. Complete with coaches, vendors, DJs, a family-fun atmosphere, Run it Back is completely community-driven and show-cases just what people can do when they want to support each other.
