FAQs
What programs and events do you run?
Katoomba Athletics offers all standard track and field events within the Little Athletics Australia rules and specifications. We also offer some senior longer distance events based on interest. Some events such as walks are not routinely offered due to low interest from within the Club. We cannot offer events such as steeplechase, pole vault or hammer throw due to restrictions of the venue and availability of equipment. Our program runs on a rotating 3 week basis where each age group is offered 2 track events and 2 field events each week on an age appropriate basis. Over the course of the 3 weeks, athletes will have undertaken all events appropriate for their age group. We try to complete weekly events within 2 hours, although some events such as longer distance hurdles, 3000m runs and relays are undertaken either before or after normal competition. Copies of our Program are available in the Policies section of the website
Do I need to wear a uniform for competition
Every athlete must wear a Katoomba uniform at all Club events as well as any Little Athletics NSW or Athletics NSW event. This includes the normal Saturday competition. The Katoomba singlet and crop tops are Sky Blue with Red trim and sides and feature our logo. The shorts are red with no logos at all. Plain black shorts may be worn instead of the red. Uniforms may be purchased or collected on Saturday as at the season opening Bib collection. The shorts must not have any visible manufacturer labels. Every athlete will be issued with: • An individual registration number (bib) - Tots to 18 years only, • An age patch. - Tots to 18 years only, • A major sponsor patch. - Tots to 18 years only, Full details of patch location etc are available in the Club Handbook
Do Athletes compete in age groups?
All athletes are assigned to age groups upon registration each year. This way all athletes will compete against people of their own age based on their year of birth. Event specifications are modified to suit the age of the athlete. These modified specifications are set and endorsed by Little Athletics Australia and are applied across NSW and Australia.
