The final event of the summer track & field season is our Club Championships, which will be held at Craigswood on Sunday 16 September.
A timetable and full details about the competition are in the flyer at the bottom of the page. There is also information below to explain more about the event to new members.
All athletes who attend training on Wednesday nights are expected to take part in this competition and, for any new members, this event will be a perfect introduction to athletics!
ENTRIES
Entries must be made in advance using the online
entry form. No entries on the day. The entry fee is £6 per athlete for Livingston members and £3 per event for guests. You can pay the fee by credit/debit card or by cash/cheque.
The closing date for all entries is midnight on Sunday 9th September.
EVENTS
The flyer lists the events available for each age category. U9-U15 athletes can enter up to 3 individual events and U17-SEN athletes can enter up to 4 individual events.
Athletes choose their own events when entering and need to enter a mixture of track & 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.
UNDER 9'S
Athletes aged 7 and 8 can compete too and can choose 3 events from a 60m sprint, 600m run, standing long jump or shot putt. It's open to all, family or friends, with a medal for every competitor. Enter via the online
entry form.
MEDLEY RELAY
Livingston athletes can compete in the Medley Relay, the final event of the day, which consists of mixed age/gender teams of 4 athletes running a 400m, 300m, 200m and 100m, with a £20 gift voucher for each member of the winning team.
Relay teams will be picked at random on Wednesday 12th September, at the end of the training session.

VOLUNTEERS
It takes a lot of volunteers to ensure the smooth running of the event. In addition to the parents listed on the volunteer rota, more parents are required to help officiate the field events and relay changeovers (no experience necessary). If anyone else is available to help, please contact
Alistair.
