​

Heats:

All heats have been seeded after careful consideration of Pb's, SB's, current form, recent results (recorded on Power of 10) and predicted performances - looking (where possible) to group people within their age group.

​

Assembly:

Assembly will be at race start 10 minutes before your race is due to go. 

The races will start on time - we will not wait for you and look for you - it is the athletes responsibility to be there at the right time. 

​

General Housekeeping:

SPIKES - Emirates Arena permits 6mm (MAX) in either cone, Christmas tree of

pyramid styles.

Spikes are to be worn in the competition arena only, please remove your spikes before

heading to the stand.

Emirates are really knuckling down on food and drink in the arena so please only bring water

into the infield!

 

Photo-finish:

Could all coaches and athletes be very aware that for the electronic timing to function we have photo-finish in operation at the finishing line. While we are keen that athletes get the opportunity to warm up as easily as possible, it is crucial that athletes do not run through the line while a race is in process as this can disrupt the photo finish system and cause problems with the results.

​

Presentations:

Medals will be awarded to the fastest 3 athletes in each age group (U17, U20 and Senior), regardless of what heat they have been seeded in. Please make yourself available for presentations at the end of the event should you finish in the top 3 times in your age group.

​

Prize Pot:

Additionally, there will be a 'prize pot' available to the overall fastest in each of the men's and
women's 3000m events IF they break the following target times:
£300 Men: 7:55.00
£300 Women: 9:10.00

If only one athlete achieves the time he or she will claim the prize pot. If more than one
winner achieves the times it will be split equally (i.e. if two winners break the times they will
get half the pot, etc - to a maximum of two winning athletes sharing the pot).
