🏃♀️🏃♂️ Knox Little Athletics – Competition Reminder
We look forward to welcoming all our athletes and families back to Knox Athletics Track this Saturday, 10 October, for Week 2 of the 2026–27 Track & Field season, featuring Program B.
Following last week’s wet weather, we have made some adjustments to the competition program to provide athletes with an opportunity to catch up on events that were unable to be completed.
⏰ Competition Start Times
Please take note of the following start times:
- 8:00 am SHARP – Long Hurdles (U13–U17)
- 8:30 am – All other scheduled Program B events commence
Athletes competing in Long Hurdles should arrive early and be ready for their event to ensure we can commence promptly at 8:00 am.
We ask all athletes and families to arrive with sufficient time to prepare for their events and help keep the competition running to schedule.
🏃 Catch-Up Events Added – 70m and 800m
Due to the rain experienced during last Saturday’s competition, several events towards the end of Program A were unable to be completed.
To give affected athletes the opportunity to participate in these missed events, we have added 70m and 800m races to this Saturday’s Program B competition.
How will the catch-up events work?
- The additional 70m and 800m events will be conducted during Saturday’s competition.
- Events will be called over the PA system for the affected age groups.
- Athletes who missed these events last Saturday will have the opportunity to complete them if they wish.
- Participation in the catch-up events is optional.
We encourage athletes and families to listen carefully for announcements throughout the morning.
What about the other events missed last week?
Any other events that could not be completed last Saturday will be incorporated into next Saturday’s competition program (17 October).
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we work to provide athletes with the opportunity to complete their missed events while maintaining our regular competition schedule.
🙋 Parent Duty and Volunteer Reminder
Our weekly competitions rely on the support of parents, carers, officials and volunteers to ensure events run safely and efficiently.
With Long Hurdles commencing earlier this week, please ensure you are ready for your allocated duty at the following times:
- Front Straight Duty: In position and ready by 7:55 am to support the 8:00 am Long Hurdles.
- All Other Duties: At your allocated duty position and ready by 8:15 am.
We also ask families to assist with setting up equipment before competition and packing away equipment at the conclusion of events wherever possible.
Even a few minutes of assistance makes a significant difference and helps our volunteers get through the morning.
Thank you to everyone who continues to contribute to the successful running of our Saturday competitions.
