An annual summer track and field event returns to Austin this week.

On Thursday, Austin Parks and Recreation and the Austin Noon Kiwanis Club will sponsor the Gene Roden Memorial Track Meet. The first was canceled due to severe weather concerns last month.

Field events begin at 6:15 p.m. and track events begin at 6:30 p.m. for children ages three to 15 at Wescott Field. Registration begins at 5:30 p.m.
