To celebrate the formal opening of the Phil Baker Athletics Track, the Club is providing the opportunity for members to run an accurately timed lap of the new track at an afternoon of 300m races.
We will be catering for all athletes from 8 years to 80 years, and entries will be arranged into suitable age groups. We will be running 6 athletes per race using the staggered start and running in lanes.
The track has been surveyed for Level 1 certification and is exactly 300m. We will be using electronic photo finish timing so that results are both accurate and immediate. This also means that we will be able to set races off every 4 to 5 minutes to provide a high octane afternoon of running.
Entries are restricted to Club members and invited guests only.
There is no fee to enter – this is our thank you to all Club members who have made this track possible.
The formal track opening is at 1.30pm, with racing between 2pm and 5pm. Subject to demand, we would also like to host either a 1500m or 3000m race as well. Please indicate whether this would be of interest to you.
Those who post fast 300m times in their races will be invited to participate in “finals” later in the afternoon,
The Pavilion Bar will be open for drinks, teas coffees etc and the College will be BBQing burgers for purchase.
