Dear athletes,

  1. After a large amount of pressure from some sectors, we have decided to have all finals for
    the 60m, 100m, 200m sprints at the designated finals times – NOT heat times.
    This will mean if you have heats for your sprints, you must check in 1 hour before the event heat
    time.
    If at close of check in for each sprints heat, there are 10 or less for the 60m & 100m and 8 or less for
    the 200m, those events will proceed to straight finals at the scheduled final time and you do not
    need to check in again for those finals.
    If it is a straight final from the get go, you must sign in 1 hour before that final event – this applies to
    all track events, including the Women’s Pentathlon 100m.
    There is a new updated version of the timetable available on this website.
  2. Registration packs and bib numbers will be available for collection on Thursday March 5 at
    the AIS Commonwealth Room, located up in the grandstand of the Track and Field Athletics
    Centre from 12:00 noon to 5:00pm.
  3. Registration packs and bib numbers will also be available at Masson St Throwing Field for the
    Hammer events on Friday March 6.
  4. Registration packs and bib numbers will be available throughout Day 2 at the AIS
    Commonwealth Room
  5. Registration packs will be available from the Multi-Function Room at Woden Athletic Park on
    Days 3 & 4 – do not go to the AIS on Days 3 & 4 to collect your registration packs or bib
    numbers!
  6. You will be able to collect your registration packs and bib numbers from Stromlo Forest Park
    on the morning of Day 4 if you have not been able to collect before for the Cross Country
    and Road Walk.
  7. The AIS Track and Field Centre is generally open to the public for Monday to Thursday from
    3:30 PM to 7:00 PM, with some weekend availability typically 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM, though
    hours vary significantly due to bookings. You will need to go to the AIS Aquatic Centre to
    purchase tickets to train.
  8. Warming up will only be available on the back straight while there are no races needing the
    full track during Days 1 & 2 of competition.
  9. Woden Athletic Park will be open for some training on Thursday from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM. A
    small entry fee will be necessary.
  10. Warming up will be available adjacent to the track in Eddison Park, however there will be no
    throwing outside the infield area except when the Weight Throw cage is in use for
    competition. Drills are permitted at the two shot circles in Eddison Park, but no implements
    allowed.
  11. Masson St Throwing Field is public ground and will be available for throwing training at any
    time except Friday March 6. You MUST take all precautions when training here as it is public
    ground and there are no fences to stop people just coming onto the venue.
