Lancers and Lancer alumni are among the athletes who will put their talents on display this weekend during the Windsor Athletics Fest.

Organizers have put together three events:

• Night Flight, the downtown pole vault experience, at 5:30 p.m. Friday, May 19;
• Mission Mile, a mile-long run down Ouellette Avenue to benefit the Downtown Mission, 7:15 p.m. Friday; and
• the Johnny Loaring Classic, a high-performance track and field meet in University of Windsor stadium opening at 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 20.

Night Flight, now in its third year, will see world-class international vaulters and varsity athletes vaulting over the streets of Windsor. It will take place on Ouellette Avenue north of Park Street.

The Mission Mile community event will send runners straight up Ouellette Avenue from Ellis to Park streets, with prizes for team and overall winners as well as individual competitors in age categories from 11 and under to 70 and older. Find details on how to register on the event website.

The Johnny Loaring Classic promises a slate of events, both on the track and in the field. Canadian Olympian and UWindsor grad Melissa Bishop will be among the competitors in the women’s 1500m race. Events run 5 to 9 p.m.; see the full schedule.
