When the Special Olympics regional track and field competition takes place on April 18, weather will not be an issue.
The event, normally held in Fort Dodge each year, will now have a new host in Humboldt, with the meet to take place inside Humboldt’s spacious Nielsen Family Fieldhouse in the recreation center.
“It’s been held in Fort Dodge for many years. I don’t know of any other place it has been held at,” Humboldt Special Olympics Coach Ashley Mohr said.
“This will be the north central region, which includes Humboldt, Pocahontas, Webster City, Eagle Grove and surrounding towns. Some adults with special needs will come and take part as well,” Mohr said. “The event will begin at either 9 or 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 18."
