City North Christmas Competition

On our final Club Saturday before we break for the Christmas holidays we celebrate Athletics in a more light hearted manner…

Competition
Formally, Events are “Open”. That means all ages and genders including Mum and Dad, Grandparents, Carers, etc. Informally, this is our annual “Parents v Kids” meet which traditionally has seen the Kids victorious and many a parent limping with strained muscles.

Track Events will be started and timed electronically. Start lists are informally organised by Age Groups, Friends or Families with up to 8 competitors per laned race.

Results will be printed and recorded for all registered athletes. Adults will receive event performance tickets which they may choose to frame or discard.

Field Events will be recorded but filling out of tickets is optional.

Warm Up
Warm up will start at 2:45pm. All athletes and especially parents are encouraged to join in the Warm Up. It’s not uncommon that at least one Dad strains a muscle, so a reasonable warm up to mitigate against injury is suggested.

Dress code
Uniforms are not required…It’s been many a year since a parent has dressed as Santa or an Elf…will this be the year?

Parents who choose to compete should wear suitable sporting attire, including running shoes and a drink bottle.
