Track & Field

We are keen to give our juniors the opportunity to take part in track and field competition and have identified a number of events that our athletes can enter. The Open/Open Graded events and Sprint Galas aim to seed races, not by age but by estimated times. This means that no matter what your performance level is, you should get a good race which will help you to a new PB! They are all very friendly and welcoming events and are a great place to start. 

For the 2024/25 season, Track and Field age categories are based on your age as of 31st August 2025
