The timetable will be published via the Beds AAA website a few days before.
U13, U15 and U17 age groups can compete in 3 events only on one day.

NOTE: As the U13 and U15 athletes can only compete in either the 800m or 1500m in one day, the 1500m will take place on an alternative date which is currently proposed to be held at Bedford Open on April 5th.

Competition under UKA Rules

Address: Sandy Upper School Engayne Ave Sandy

No late entries or entries on the day

Biggleswade AC reserve the right to change the programme if necessary.

Please take a couple of minutes to read the important information below:

Notice for all: Ages/Genders for all events are specifically stated for each event. Please do not enter an event if you are not age appropriate for the event. If you do, we reserve the right to refuse you to compete in that event on the day. We will try to refund entry for anyone who mistakenly registers for an event they are not age appropriate for but this is not guaranteed. E.g. 300m U15G/U17W/U15B indicates that only under 15 girls, under 17 women and under 15 boys can enter this event. U15’s upwards means all people from the under 15 category to veterans can register.

Notice for sprint races: When registering please put your recent PB or SB. This is so we can put you in races in which you will be competitive with other athletes. If you have an issue putting your PB or SB when registering on Roster state it in a message or email: darren.janssen@biggleswadeac.org.uk

Notice for field events: The number of trials throws/horizontal jumps will be dependant on entries but will not be less than 3. There is no guarantee of more than 3 trials. All throw events (excluding Vortex throw) and Long Jump (excl. u11s long jump) are separated into two pools. In the timetable below we have stated a rough recent performance divide in how the pools will be split based. The throws have been separated to aid the flow of the timetable and we would hope that athletes would list an achievable target to be seeded correctly. We will try to adhere to this. However, if for example we have 20 registrations who are throwing over 30m for discus and only 10 for under 30m, then we reserve the right to change the performance divide used to split competitors evenly with 15 in each pool to aid with officiating. If there is a change in time to when you were expecting to compete and you are not happy then please email darren.janssen@biggleswadeac.org.uk and we will try to offer a refund, but this is not guaranteed.

Notice for 100m/Hurdles: Notice for veteran athletes for hurdles: If you wish to compete at senior level hurdle heights please leave a comment or send an email.

Notice for under 11’s (U11’s): Under 11s have specific events, designated for under 11s only, that they can register for: Long Jump (as stated), 80m, 600m and Howler Throw. Please do not register for any other event. U11s are limited to registering to a maximum of two events only. If you register for more, or register for an event not age appropriate, we reserve the right to refuse competing for the extra or non-age-appropriate event on the day. We will try to refund the entry but this is not guaranteed.

Notice for 800/1500m (U13’s): U13s may register for these events but cannot register for both. U15s upwards are allowed to register for both 800m and 1500m. U13s may also only register for three total events.

Notice for 3000m/5000m: If numbers are low these events will be ran at the same time. Competitors will be given a coloured number co-ordinating to their race. If numbers are high the races will be ran separately.
