Livingston Combined Events / Mile - Sat 8 Aug
19 June 2015
There's a new event on the club fixture list this summer with Livingston holding an Open Combined Events Championships and Open Mile Championships at Craigswood on Saturday 8th August!
This is a great opportunity for club athletes with an interest in multi-events (or middle-distance running) to try something new at their local track.
COMBINED EVENTS
The Combined Events Championships is a pentathlon (five events) for U13 to SEN athletes and a quadrathlon (four events) for U11s. The events included are:
MILE
Mile races will be seeded based on performance (not age group), with the heats ordered fastest to slowest.
Overall age group placings will be determined based on electronic timing with medals presented for 1st/2nd/3rd place for each age group (U13/U15/U17/U20/SEN).
ENTRIES
Entries must be made in advance using the online entry form (links below) with payment by credit/debit card via PayPal.
Entry fees are £6 per athlete for the open quadrathlons (U11s), £8 per athlete for the open pentathlons (U13 - SEN) and £4 per athlete for the open mile. All fees payable in advance.
Entries close on Sunday 26th July at midnight and there is no entry on the day.
VOLUNTEERS
It takes a lot of volunteers to ensure the smooth running of club events. We usually require a large team of helpers to assist the officials at field events (no experience necessary). If you're available to help please let Alistair know.
If enough people help then everyone only needs to help for an hour or so on the day. For club athletes who are not competing, this is your chance to "give something back" to the club...
TIMETABLE
A timetable and full details about the event are in the flyer below. Event times are provisional and subject to change on the day depending on the finishing time of other events to allow sufficient rest periods. Please listen for announcements throughout the day. An updated timetable will be released after entries close.
Please contact Alistair with any questions about the event.
