Running Event Information
 

There will be no warming up inside The Armory.  All warming up should take place across the street from The Armory entrance at the Haven pedestrian plaza or outside on the sidewalk.

 

Clerking for all running events will be done on the apron outside the track along the first turn (underneath the C. Virginia Fields Scoreboard).

 

All athletes should not enter the clerking area until called for their event, about fifteen (15) minutes before their scheduled event. 

 

Because all events will be seeded prior to competition, every athlete must remember what heat and what lane they will be in. 

 

All running events will be FAT timed.

 

Starting blocks will be allowed and sanitized after each heat. No outside starting blocks will be allowed into the facility.

 

The 60m dash will be contested with an athlete in every other lane. 

 

Oval races will have athletes starting and finishing at different ends of the track. They will be seeded so that no one starting from the different starting lines should be passed while competing.

 

Absolutely no spitting, nose blowing or other similar action will be permitted in any capacity including in or around garbage cans within the facility.
