Events

Events are scheduled throughout the operating season. They consist mainly of Run Days and Meets. Other events that the LILS have participated in include:

  • The Greenberg Train Shows
  • Suffolk PBA Picnic
  • Charity Events

Run Days

These are the days that LILS is open to the public. Typically, Run Days are scheduled for the second and last Sundays of the month from May to October. The schedule is shifted slightly to accomodate holidays. We run from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Tickets are required and may be obtained at our ticket booth. While not required, donations are accepted at the ticket booth as well.

Meets

Meets are held on certain weekends during the season and always include a Run Day. The Fridays and Saturdays of a Meet are set aside for our members, members of other clubs, and their family and friends. Extra activities on meet days include a dinner or barbecue, night running and bi-directional running. The Run Days during the weekend of a Meet are always special. It is a time when out-of-towners bring their equipment to run on our track.

 

Next Public Run Day


Summer is in Full Swing!

Rumor has it that when Thomas Jefferson was rushing to complete the Declaration of Independence in time for the Fourth of July weekend he had thoughts of unwinding with a nice train ride. Ok, so I'm the one who started the rumor and there were no trains to ride even if he wanted to. Well, there's no reason for you to miss out on the fun this July. Our Run Days in July are on the 9th and 30th. Train rides will be provided from 10:30AM to 3PM. In addition, our Mid-summer Meet is July 20-23. [details]

June is Busting Out All Over

The summer season is upon us and LILS is off to a good start. So far, the rain has conveniently fallen on the "other" weekends and our guests have enjoyed some fine weather for riding the trains. [more]

Happy New Year!

While the calendar year starts on January 1, our year with our riders starts in the spring. Our first Run Day on May 21 was well attended and with it we begin the celebration of our 40th year in Southaven Park.

Frequent visitors will notice some changes at the track this year. [more]
