The Harry Jerome Indoor Games presented by TELUS is breaking records before the starting gun fires. Over 600 entries from athletes ranging from 8 years to 80 years will run jump and throw at the legacy of the 2010 Olympic Games, the Richmond Olympic Oval.
Many see indoor track and field, as a three ring circus with sprints, relay running, hurdles, high jumping and shot putting being done at the same time. The close quarters of an indoor track on a 200m oval make for spills and thrills with exciting times and close finishes.
