County Juvenile T&F
Best of luck to all the club members who will be action at the County Juvenile T&F Championships in the CIT on Sun.
This will be a very busy day so athletes should be familiar with the timetable and when their events are on. Athletes should be at the track in plenty of time to allow warm up for events.
Athletes need to wear club singlet or club t-shirt for all events.
The timetable on the day can be delayed or move ahead of time so athletes need to pay attention to the PA announcements and go to events promptly when called.
Athletes should also play attention to what events are on before theirs so they can prepare in plenty time.
There will be much bigger numbers in the younger age groups so events for those ages will take much longer, for example the Girls U12 Shot Putt or Long Jump competitions could take an hour each to complete but the Boys U18 Shot Putt or Long Jump will only take approx 10mins each. This should be factored into working out when your events are on.
Athletes have been pre-entered and no entries or changes allowed on the day.
Details of Bandon entries are below. **Updated 2nd May **
Columns highlighted in yellow are events on the first day, May 5th
White columns are for events on the second day 12th May

Half Marathon Info for walkers
We are delighted to offer an opportunity for walkers to join in this sports event being organised by Bandon Rugby and Bandon Athletic club on Saturday May 11th. As you know the event is organised to raise funds to further develop and support the young athletes across both clubs. All walkers must register in advance of the walk and registrations will be taken on the Friday evening before and on the morning of the walk up to 8:45am in the Bandon Rugby club.
We have looked at providing a safe walking route with a view to bringing walkers into finish area at around the same time as the main group of runners. This will give all a taste of the finish atmosphere. The walking route is about 7 miles long.
