America’s Oldest Hellenic Track Meet Is Back

Broomall, PA. America’s oldest Hellenic track meet returns on Sunday, May 4, at Upper Darby High School. Now in its 37th year, the event invites the Greek community — through its churches and organizations — to enjoy a free day of fun and competition.

The annual meet is a cornerstone of Greek-American life in the area and is organized by AHEPA Thermopylae Chapter 445.

Opening ceremonies begin at 1:00 p.m. on the high school field, followed by medal presentations and plenty of food.

Several years ago, the event was renamed the AHEPA Thermopylae Chapter 445 Annual James D. Tanos – Theophilos Constantinidis Pan-Hellenic Track Meet in honor of the founders who first brought it to life.
