Livingston Combined Events & Mile - Sun 7 Aug
20 June 2016
After the success of last year's event, the Livingston Combined Events Open Championships (and Mile Open Championships) returns to Craigswood Sports Centre on Sunday 7 August.
This is a great opportunity for club athletes with an interest in multi-events (or middle-distance running) to try something new at their local track.
Combined Events
The Combined Events Championships is a pentathlon (five events) for U13 to SEN athletes and a quadrathlon (four events) for U11s. The events included are:
Mile
Mile races will be seeded based on performance (not age group), with the heats ordered fastest to slowest.
Overall age group placings will be determined based on electronic timing with medals presented for 1st/2nd/3rd place for each age group (U13/U15/U17/SEN).
Entry
Entries must be made in advance using the online entry form via the link below. There are no late entries or entries on the day.
The closing date for all entries is midnight on Sunday 24 July.
The entry fee is £10.00 per athlete for combined events and £5.00 per athlete for the mile.
Timetable
A provisional timetable and event details are available in the flyer below.
Event times are provisional and subject to change on the day depending on the finishing time of other events to allow sufficient rest periods. Please listen for announcements throughout the day.
An updated timetable will be released after entries close.

Volunteers
It takes a lot of volunteers to ensure the smooth running of club events. We always require a large team of helpers to assist the officials with field events (no experience necessary). If you're available to help please let Alistair know.
If enough people help then everyone only needs to help for an hour or so on the day. For club athletes who aren't competing, this is your chance to "give something back" by helping out.
