Thanks to all the families who braved the wind and rain last week, so our Little Athletes could compete in the Week 2 program. The weather forecast is looking more settled this week, and we’re looking forward to seeing you again you all again at Landy Field this Saturday.

Getting started

If you haven’t already collected a bib, and you registered (and, if you’re new, provided your proof of age documentation) before Wednesday 18 October, we should have your competition bib at the South Barwon tent on Saturday morning. All competitors will need to be accompanied to the bib collection point by a parent or guardian, as we will have the volunteering duty rosters available for the pre-Christmas events.

We will also have uniform items on display and for sale at our tent, but only until 10.30 this week. If you would like to order beforehand and beat the rush, please send us a message on southbarwonathletics@gmail.com or via our Facebook page.

This week’s events

This week is Week 3 on the GLAC program. Events start from around 8.00am, so listen for the announcement for your child’s age group. Each event call is made three times before the event begins. OnTrackers, the program for our U6s and U7s, will start at around 8.30am.
