Your competitor number must be worn on the front during all competitions.. In addition, all track athletes will be required to wear a bib number on their back indicating their age division. Competition Numbers can be picked up as follows:
See Event Schedule
All athletes are asked to make any scratches in any event when picking up their competition number. The declaration table is right next to packet pickup. All track event athletes, after picking up their number, must ALSO check in at the clerking area adjacent to the track prior to their event. Declarations must be completed no less than one hour before the listed starting time for the event. No exceptions!
The final seeding will then be done and sections will be drawn. Approximately 20 minutes before their event, athletes will be called to the clerking area at the track for the final time and will then be escorted onto the track from the clerking area. For field events, check-in will take place at the appropriate jumping area or throwing circle. Athletes must report to their respective event area no later than 20 minutes prior to the scheduled start of their event. Any athlete who has not checked in prior to the first attempt will not be allowed to enter the competition.
Athletes are strongly recommended to warm-up and cool-down in the available space provided inside the facility. This will ensure that you do not miss any important announcements, information or clerking instructions. Please note: spikes are not allowed inside of the warm-up gym!
Up to 1/4" pyramid spikes are permitted in all competition areas. All shoes will be checked. Spikes will be for sale at the merchandise table inside the track area.
Shot puts, starting blocks, weights, superweights, and relay batons will be provided.
All personal shot puts (soft shell variety only) and weights ("bag" only) must be weighed in if you want to use them. Implements must meet all specifications to be allowed for use in the competition. Weighed and approved implements will be impounded until the start of the competition. Weigh-in will begin one hour before each competition at the throwing circle.
Pole vaulters must arrange for their own poles. The RLTAC will store poles before and after the competition.
Starting heights will be determined by facility equipment limitations and the Games Committee. Minimum High Jump height is 2 feet 8 inches; minimum Pole Vault height is approx. 4 feet.
Start lists will be posted at the RLTAC Gymnasium, beginning on Friday, March 26.
For appropriate and timely processing of record applications, athletes obtaining a new age division record in an event should be prepared to submit a copy of their birth certificate or passport (driver's license or similar is not acceptable), if not already submitted to USATF with your entry. Please submit to the "Record Processing" area adjacent to the finish line. Go to Top
