Track & Field : Sun 7th April 11am & Sat 13th 12noon

Program for West Cork Athletics Track & Field was agreed last night at the AGM.
Link to full program below, order of the day will be available a few weeks beforehand.
Dates are Sun 7th April 11am & Sat 13th April 12noon.

One of the changes this year is in relation to the 3km event.
This year there will be a team aspect to the race, so as well as medals for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed athletes, there will also be team prizes with scoring using the same criteria as Cross Country. 3 athletes to score, 4 team medals available

Hoping this might encourage some road runners to take a turn on the track and would hope that we see a number of teams involved.

Another change was in relation to adding a Javelin for Boys and Girls U13 on the 1st leg.
This is NOT to be used as a training exercise and athletes taking part in the Javelin are expected to have practiced within their clubs, athletes who are not throwing safely will be removed from the competition.

Individual medals for each of senior/novice and masters categories for men/ women but all categories combined for team prize
There won’t be separate races for novice/senior/master, so all the women for example will run together, and declare their category before the start.
Medals awarded to the top 3 in each category at the finish.
Overall team prize also, 4 athletes to score, so team could for example be 2 senior, 1 novice and 1 masters, or 4 novices.
and it would be possible to win more than 1 team prize if enough athletes from one club team took part.

Best Overall Club.
This year will see a perpetual trophy being awards for the Best Overall Club at the Cross Country Championships, so hoping for a bit of competition with bragging rights as to what club names gets on the trophy first.
