Knox Little Athletics Centre Inc.

The provisional timetable for the Knox Championship Day on 24th February is available.

You can download the provisional timetable below.

Heats and Finals
Heats/Finals: Athletes have been placed in straight finals for track events up to the maximum entries based on available lanes. Where possible we have combined age groups into events – Age groups in combined events will receive separate medals for placings in their own age group.
Where there are more entries received a series of Timed Finals have been used to determine the overall placing of athletes. i.e., Heats and Finals will not be conducted.
Athletes have been randomly placed in lanes. Athletes will not be able to choose lanes.

Marshalling
All athletes MUST report directly to the event area 15 minutes prior to the scheduled starting time of the event. Track events take priority—if you have a clash between a track and a field event, report to the field event and advise the Chief.

Duty Roster

Duty Roster will be posted soon.

Duty is compulsory for Parents of competing Knox LAC athletes. Parents must do duty for either the full morning or afternoon session. 
Failure to do so will result in athletes being removed from events.
Please do not ask for an exemption as none will be granted.

Conditions of Entry
Club uniform must be worn with Registration Patch.
No protests will be entered into.
Spikes (maximum 7mm conical or xmas tree) are permitted for U11 to U17.
Knox LAC reserves the right to cancel or postpone the entire event due to extreme weather conditions.

Great News – As of about 9.30 this evening power has been restored to the track and our systems have powered up and working.

Saturday Aths will go ahead as normal

Please note that with the power outage the canteen has not been restocked.

There will be no canteen on Saturday
Please make sure you bring plenty of food and drink for your athletes.

As of 6.30pm Friday Night power has not been restored to the track.

We will assess the situation later this evening and advise everyone.

If power has not been restored to the track by 7.30am Saturday morning we will have to cancel little aths for the day. We will advise everyone in the morning if aths is not going ahead.

Please check our website and social for updates.

As everyone will be acutely aware the storms that come through on Tuesday 13th February has cause significant power outage across eastern suburbs. This included the athletics track at Knox.

While we were hopeful – the power to the track has not yet been restored.

We do not have specific update from Ausnet as to when power is likely to come back on.

As such if the power is not restored by Saturday morning we will be unable to run our timing and computer systems, canteen, PA systems and internal lighting to the buildings making it unsafe.

Therefore Little Athletics on Saturday morning will be cancelled if power has not be restored to the track.

We are keeping in mind that we could move to a Sunday afternoon program if power is restored by then – However we do recognise that many families will have other commitments organised and may not be able to attend.

We will be making further announcements in due course. Please keep and eye on our website and socials for further updates.

Thank you for your understanding.
