Track Events

Sprints

Short flat races are run by all age groups. Typical distances include 70m, 100m, 200m and 300m depending on age group.

Longer races (typically 800m to 1500m) are included for older age groups.

Hurdles begin at 8s and above. Heights and spacing between hurdles are adjusted for each age group.

Each race is supervised by the following parent helper roles:

Role	Responsibility
Starter	Starts races: "On your marks… Set… Bang!"
Timekeeper	Records finishing times
Marshalls	Hand place cards to finishers, guide athletes to Recorder
Recorder	Collects results and enters into ResultsHQ
Hurdles helper	Adjusts hurdle heights and positions between age groups

See Track Roles for full instructions.

All race results are entered into ResultsHQ and used for end-of-season improvement awards and championship nominations.
