Wet Weather & Extreme Heat Policies

In the event of wet weather, we will make every effort to continue the normal program if the condition of the grounds permit, unless the conditions become extreme (e.g. lightning). If in doubt, please visit our web site for up to date information. If competition is cancelled in advance, we make every effort to coordinate an alternate event. This will be advertised via email, Facebook and on the website where possible. Alternate venues include the ‘Snake Run’ at the Gipps Road Sporting Complex, Greystanes (2km & 4km/8km events) and the M7 Shared Cycleway near Lady Pehnren Park, Kings Langley off Jubilee Crescent and Shanke Crescent (2km and 5km events).

Our Extreme Heat Policy is, “When the temperature at 2.00pm, or any time throughout competition, is equal to or in excess of comfortable limits, some or all events will be cancelled. We use a sliding scale of ambient temperatures to determine what events if any can be conducted. Our decisions will always take in to account the safety and best interests of our athletes and visiting athletes. We reserve the right to modify competition where the conditions may be more suitable to certain events eg throws and jumps based competition and shorter distance events. If the ground is water effected, we may alter events to protect the track or offer alternate competition as listed above.
