It’s your time to make some exciting and energetic moments in one of the oldest sports events in the world – Track and Field. Athletics for all is on show, with anyone, of any ability or age, welcomed to be part of the action.The Festival of Athletics will be offering a selection of running, jumping and throwing events for all. Those competing will have the opportunity to vs their fellow age group while refining their skills and meeting new friends.
There are 3 different challenges that your team can be part of:
Teams will have 4 members each of any age, ability, or gender and will compete against all other teams in that category. Each team will be given a bonus point at the start of the competition, based on the overall team age and ability. This helps equal out the playing field for a close and exciting challenge.
Events include Shot Put, Long Jump, 100 Sprint and a 60m Relay
For each event (apart from Relay), only 3 members of a team can compete, with the 4th person designated as a volunteer official. This means everyone will have a go competing and volunteering.
Teams will choose one of their fellow teammates results from each event that goes towards the team’s final score. Plan carefully though, as your performance can only be recorded once, across all events, that goes towards your team’s points. All team member’s matter!
Team Challenge will commence at 12pm on Saturday 10th June. Draft event times are:
