2024 Track & Field Championships
on Sunday 15th Septemebr 2024
Registration starts 9.15am; First Events at 10am
The Club Championships is licensed by UKA and led by our volunteer trained officials, supported by the club coaches and parents, which means results can be submitted to the Power of10 where the results will be posted.
The Championship is run on a Multi Event basis i.e.to be included in the Club Championship competition, athletes need to compete in 2 events i.e. 1 Track and 1 Field.
Points are allocated to the 2 nominated track & field Championship events to make up an individual athletes score in their respective age/gender group (see points scoring tables attached).
- Senior competitors i.e. Under 20 plus can compete in as many events as they wish, however, 2 events must be 1 Track and 1 Field to be scored for the championship.
We are pleased to be running the 5000m which is a race that will be included in the Shakespeare Race Series.
- Junior competitors – Under 11, 13, 15 & 17 can compete in a maximum of 4 events. Under 20 athletes can compete in a maximum of 5 events. 2 events must be 1 Track and 1 Field to be scored for the championship.
- Please note Under 13, 15 & 17 athletes can only compete in either the 800m or the1500m not both. U11s can’t compete in either.
- Senior and Junior competitors – Additional to the 1 Track and 1 Field events chosen for the Championship, other selected events will give the opportunity to gain a Seasons or Personal Best up to the maximum number of events for each respective age group.
- Relays will be organised on the day
Outline Timetable: – 10.00 to 12.30 male track, female field : 1.00 to 3.30 female track, male field (See attached)
All athletes are encouraged to compete in 1 Track and 1 Field, however, by exception athletes could choose to compete in a single track or field event and just the points from that single event will still be included in the championship.
To enter go to https://www.riderhq.com/events/p/knkjxs1s/f/stratford-ac-club-track–field-championships-2024 and follow the instructions to complete the entry.
Take care when completing the form.
- You will need to select the event that you are completing the form for ‘Some Else (Child)’ NOT you the parent.
- The system requires you to repeat the athlete’s details for each event that you are entering.
- You need to keep a note of the events you have entered for each athlete.
- Take care to choose the correct box if the event is to be scored for the ‘Club Championship’ or only for a ‘Personal Best’.
- You will receive a general email acknowledgement for each event but it will not detail the events you have entered.
Please enter now, the earlier the better! The deadline is 6th September at the latest (no manual forms will be accepted). Please keep a copy of your events for your reference.
Notes:
- The scoring charts and timetable are attached but please note timings may change and a revised timetable will be issued nearer to the competition if it does need to change.
- The field events will run concurrently and be open for a specific allotted timeframe so that athletes can focus on the track but then go to their field event.
- If events clash the Track events take priority over Field events and the Championship events take priority over Personal Best events. Athletes will be able to go back to their field event after the track event within the allotted timescale.
Athletes can wear spikes and should wear a club vest or club T shirt but if not, athletes should wear an appropriate plain white or yellow T shirt (not football shirts etc). You can purchase club kit from https://www.stratfordac.co.uk/shop/ but please don’t leave it until the last minute.
Parents/Carers: The Club Championships is a collective effort between everyone (not just the regular volunteers) involved in the club and the success of the event for the athletes relies on people helping on the day and parents will be needed to support the club Officials in the field events. We will be in touch.
For the younger juniors a parent/carer will be required to accompany their child and be responsible for them during the competition and to get them to their respective events.
We are going to again run the traditional fun Novelty Events for everyone at the end of the event; probably the most competitive part of the day! We will also be running a Tombola.
If you have any queries, please contact the respective Age Group Leader or coach.
