Every year, athletes from across the globe — including many current and future Olympians — travel to Philadelphia to compete in the Penn Relays, a historic track meet that has been held each spring since 1895 and is one of the city’s signature annual sporting events. Franklin Field, the oldest college stadium in the United States — and former home of the Philadelphia Eagles — is the home of the Penn Relays, and features the country’s first scoreboard. The Penn Relays provide competition for more collegiate athletes than any other track meet in the world. The three-day event has an accompanying festival featuring food, sports vendors, souvenirs and more.
