PHILADELPHIA - The 2021 Penn Relays that were scheduled for April have been canceled for a second year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and local restrictions on large gatherings.
"We are extremely disappointed to cancel the Penn Relays for a second year," said Dave Johnson, the Frank Dolson Director of the Penn Relays. "At the same time, we feel a strong obligation to the local track and field community to provide as much competition as safely possible during the course of the spring and summer."
