Knox Little Athletics Centre Inc.

The Count Down is Over!
Welcome to the start of the Knox Little Athletics Centre Track and Field season for 2016-17.

We have a big day planned this Saturday with issuing of patches and show bags, track and field events, opening ceremony, and special guests!

Registrations

Returning athletes must register before 6pm this Wednesday 21 September to compete on Saturday.

If you competed last season and arrive at the track on Saturday without having registered by the deadline on Wednesday night you will not be able to participate. Please register online with Little Athletics Victoria to avoid disappointment. This rule is being applied for all centres across Victoria.

New athletes who have registered online can collect registration bags and competition patches from your club.

New athletes who have not registered online will receive a temporary patch from the Knox registration tent.

The Knox Registration tent is available from 8am, for clubs to collect patches and registration bags and for new members to obtain a temporary patch.

Patches and show bags

Athletes who have completed their registration (including payment) can collect their patch and show bag from their club from 8am on Saturday morning.

To ensure your patch and show bag is ready, please register and pay online by 6pm this Wednesday 21 September.

IMPORTANT: All athletes must wear a new 2016-17 patch to participate in events. You will not be able to participate with a patch from last season.

Track and Field events

Opening ceremony

There will be a break from events at 9:45am, ready for the Opening Ceremony to commence at 10:00am.

During the opening ceremony, athletes march down the front straight with their club before sitting quietly on the track for the official opening of the season.
