We’re coming back, but would like to know if the running community of HLP would also be interested in meeting during the mornings a few days a week. Leave us a comment and a time that works for you as well. Hope to see you soon. 🏃🏻♀️ 🏃🏽
Rising track star Gout Gout is drawing comparisons to Usain Bolt, the Jamaican eight-time gold medallist, considered the sport’s greatest-ever. Bolt recently said of Gout, “He looks like young me.” https://t.co/8UbCLkjjr9
🚨 Grand Slam Track’s bankruptcy reorganization plan has been approved!
Athletes will recover ~70% of the $7M owed to them, and the league is eyeing at least one event in 2027 if they can raise the funds. The dream isn’t dead yet. 👀

In Thailand, a newly built running track has gone viral — for its design. 🏟️
In Padang Besar (Songkhla province), a sports complex costing around 35 million baht (~€955,000) features a track with 90-degree corners, effectively forming a rectangle around the football pitch rather than the traditional oval.
Local authorities say the track was never intended for competitive athletics, but simply for walking or recreational exercise, as the football field was the priority in the project’s layout.
The unusual design has sparked debate online and has even prompted Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission to review the project and its use of public funds. 🧵
It’s been a long time—since 1995, to be exact—that Franklin High has clinched a basketball city title, but today, that streak finally ended! Huge congrats to Coach Juvi and the entire team for their hard work and dedication in securing the Div 4 LA City Basketball Championship.
🇺🇾Julia Paternain in SHOCK when she realizes she finished third in the marathon and won Uruguay's first EVER World Athletics Championships medal! ❤️👏 #WorldAthleticsChamps
Very cool moment as 🇺🇾 Julia Paternain crossed the finish line for bronze and had no idea that she just medaled.
Last one to qualify since she ran 2:27:09 for her debut at the McKirdy Micro back in March. Ends up on the podium at the #WorldAthleticsChamps.
Historic FIRST medal for Uruguay.
Congrats to coach @McKirdyTrained as well.
