Cambs AA – T&F events 2026
Thank you for entering the County championships on Saturday. You can find the up-to-date schedules and start lists on the Roster entry site. Best to check mid-week or later just in case we have to some tweaks.

The track schedule is very similar to the original but slight timing changes.
We have had to make a few significant changes to the field timetable because we are very short of field officials and helpers. Especially note that U14/U16 girls shot is now at 10.00am. (we will accommodate the two U16’s who are also in heat 1 of the 100m if the shot event is not over before their 100m race).
Pease arrive and collect your numbers at least 30 minutes before your first event.
Some age-groups have 2 heats and a final in sprint races. 8 will qualify for the final – top 3 in each heat plus 2 fastest remaining.
No need to notify of any withdrawals unless you have qualified for a final and don’t want to run in it. If you fail to compete in a final after qualifying from heats, without good reason, then you cannot compete in any subsequent events. You must inform the track referee.
Any under 14 or under 16 athlete who has entered both 800m and 1500m in order to choose on the day must not run in both (UKA rule).
Medals will be presented in the upstairs clubroom but allow at least 15 minutes in order for the results to be processed.
Personal throwing implements must be checked so allow time for this. There may not always be someone instantly available in the foyer, but let us know upstairs and someone will appear.
We are desperately in need of extra help on field events so any parent or athlete who is willing to assist will be welcome and, if possible, could you let us know in advance about the time when you can be available so that the Field Referee can plan. e-mail to cambs1780342554offic1780342554ials@1780342554gmail1780342554.com1780342554.
Because of the shortage of officials, if a field event runs late, we reserve the right to reduce the number of attempts to 4 or 5 instead of the planned 6, so athletes should be ready when called and paying attention to avoid that scenario.
Car parking on site is limited to about 180 cars so can we ask that athletes car share where possible. Please park neatly so that you don’t obstruct exit for others. There are also some spaces in Wilberforce Road, but there are road work sin Adams Road. Access has to be via Clarkson Road and Wilberforce Road. Adams road is exit only currently.
There is also the option to use the Madingley road P&R and the P&R bus can then drop you at the end of Wilberforce Road (short walk to the track).
Please remember that the athletics facility is owned by the University and they have zero tolerance policy to any aggression or bad behaviour towards their staff.

Athletics Footwear – Everyone will be fully aware of the debate on shoe technology over the last year of lockdown and so it’s worth ensuring you are up to date with the current rules issued by UKA.
http://www.uka.org.uk/…/UKA-World-Athletics-Shoe-Rule…
Helpfully there is a full list of which shoes are/are not allowed for track, field, cross country and road events (not all shoes permissible on the road are allowed for track events)! A statement from UK Athletics says that the UKA Rules Group has determined that it is appropriate that the amendments to the Rule should apply to all competitions held under UKA rules both as a matter of fairness and also due to the range of events within the UK where qualifying mark, selections standards and records can be set.” “Adhering to these rules is therefore a responsibility that starts primarily with the athlete and athletes will need to take responsibility to ensure that their shoes conform to the rules and understand that event officials will have the right to check shoes and take appropriate action.” The list can be found here
