  • Les Penn Relays (aussi connu sous le nom de Penn Relays Carnival) est le plus ancien et le plus important meeting d'athlétisme des États-Unis. Ils sont organisés annuellement depuis le 21 avril 1895 par l'université de Pennsylvanie sur le Franklin Field de Philadelphie. Il attire plus de 15 000 participants chaque année, provenant de lycées, d'universités ou de clubs d'athlétisme de toute l'Amérique du Nord mais aussi de Jamaïque. Ces athlètes peuvent concourir dans les quelque 300 épreuves programmées sur cinq jours. Historiquement, cet événement a été créé pour promouvoir les courses de relais. Les Penn Relays se tiennent traditionnellement la dernière semaine d'avril, se terminant le dernier dimanche. Typiquement, l'affluence atteint son maximum sur les trois derniers jours où on peut voir près de 100 000 personnes dont près de 50 000 pour le seul dimanche. Les séries sont courues le mardi pendant la Carnival Week, et les finales le jeudi. (fr)
