The final event of the summer track & field season is our Club Championships, which will be held at Craigswood on Sunday 11 September.
All athletes who attend training on Monday and Wednesday nights are expected to take part in this competition. For any new members, this event will be a perfect introduction to athletics!
Events
A provisional timetable and event listing for each age group are available in the flyer below.
Under 9 to Under 15 athletes can enter up to 3 individual events and Under 17 to Senior athletes can enter up to 4 individual events.
Athletes choose their own events when entering and need to enter a mixture of track and field events. You can't do all track or all field!
If you're doing an event for the first time, just leave the PB/SB section of the form empty.

Trophies & Medals

NOT eligible for medals.
All Under 9 athletes will receive a medal.
Livingston Club Championship trophies will be presented at a later date to the overall 1st/2nd/3rd placed athlete in each age group (U11/U13/U15/U17/SEN) for which eligibility is:
- You must be a fully paid up member of Livingston Athletic Club and have represented the club at least twice this season.
- U11, U13 and U15 athletes must compete in 3 individual events, which should be a mixture of track and field events.
- U17 and Senior athletes must compete in 4 individual events, which should be a mixture of track and field events.
The trophy winners will be decided using the UKA Award scoring tables (available below), with the winners in each age group having the highest points total. Every millisecond and every centimetre counts!
Parent Helpers
It takes a big team of officials and volunteers to run athletics competitions. Parent helpers are needed to help officiate the field events and relay changeovers (no experience necessary). If enough people volunteer then everyone only needs to help for an hour or so on the day.
If you're available to help, please speak to
Alistair or add your name on the entry form.
