200m

The usual prevailing winds here are south-west and north-east... both of these winds give us a tailwind for the 200m on either the back straight or home straight. Unfortunately on Thursday it looks unusually to be a west-north-west and thus a headwind on the bend and slight tail on the home straight.
Therefore, following feedback from our leading sprinters and coaches, we switch to a 100m race this Thursday and we add a 200m in on 1st June instead. There is also a 200m on 22nd June. We can hope for optimal conditions for these events and plenty of PB's!
If any entrants are against this idea and actively want a 200m this Thursday, please email me ASAP and I will arrange for adding them into a separate 200m.

5,000m

For the 5,000m ONLY all athletes are required to wear bib numbers on the front and back of their vests. Please collect your additional number from the club room if required.

General info:

Please read the info below to ensure all runs smoothly! This is particularly important for athletes taking part for the first time.

Timetable & Start-lists online

Note there have been some minor timetable changes. All athletes/parents should check the Start Lists above. By doing so, all athletes should know their start time, heat, lane number, etc. Each race has its specific heat time listed e.g. 100m races are separated by 5 minutes.

Once the meet begins, that link above will provide live track results.

Bib collection

Please collect your bib number from the table in the club room if you haven't competed yet this summer - you can find your number on the start lists or competitor list above this will be your number for the whole series and must be retained. Bib number is to be pinned to the front of your vest (and back for 5,000m).

There is no reporting deadline but we recommend that athletes warm up for at least 20mins before their first event, therefore they'll need to collect their bib before this.

Moving around the arena

• Athletes MUST NEVER enter the roped-off infield area (for obvious safety reasons) as there may be training throws in progress
• They must also avoid crossing the finish line during or just before a race commences

Track events

• All athletes must report to the start area 10mins before the scheduled start. It is necessary to ensure smooth preparation for each race for the starts team and sticking stress-free to the timetable
• Athletes can continue their warm-up routines in this area whilst keeping aware of any shout-outs from the starts team to sign-in or come to the start-line

Additional notes for U13/ new athletes

• Athletes should warm up with a short jog followed by a combination of drills and dynamic stretches that they've experienced in training. We recommend approx 15mins of these in a relaxed manner following their jog. Next, they should get into spikes (unless throwing) and do "strides" (short runs at increasing speed) for approx 10mins with relaxed recoveries. They should then be good to go!

Volunteers

• We would be extremely grateful if anyone was interested in assisting our officials teams. This can involve gaining a qualification or simply being an assistant to our established officials. Please reply by email if you can assist this weekend and/or going forwards!
