Competition Rules 

Updated spike policy at Lee Valley.

We have updated our spike rules to the following:   For optimum performance we recommend compression spikes are used for the indoor athletics track. Pyramid spikes are now allowed.  The max length for all spikes used must be 6mm. 

World Masters shoe rules will apply, so carbon-plate non-spikes shoes can be used in the middle-distance events as well as the spiked shoes

Athletes to report to call room for track events 15-20 minutes prior to start time of race and athletes for field events to report to area of event at least 15-30 minute prior to event to warm up. Pole vault athletes can arrive 45 minutes prior to start time for run up and 30 minutes prior for high jump.

No guest athletes will be allowed to compete.

There are three trophies to be won. Women's trophy, Men's trophy and the Overall Trophy. Good luck to all the teams competing.
