PLEASE NOTE THE ORDER OF THE RUNNING EVENTS, AND ANTICIPATE YOUR EVENT.

The running events are ordered as listed above. Youngest age groups start first. Long jump and shot put open after the warm up. Complete the long jump and shot put early in the evening while you are not running (if you need to leave to run, after you run, you may finish your field events). We close the long jump and shot put when the 200-meter run begins.

RIBBONS: Ribbons are awarded for first through sixth place in each event heat. Age groups are in two-year intervals (ex: 4 and 5 year olds, 6 and 7 year olds, etc.). Ask for a Rainbow Ribbon if you did not get a ribbon in any event.

PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT RIBBONS: Obtain a record card when you register. Record your performance for four weeks. If you show improvement, the fourth week you can earn a personal improvement ribbon.

CTC YOUTH PROGRAM RULES:

1.    Limit of THREE (3) events per competitor.

2.    Sign in the first night you attend. Obtain a name tag each night you attend - add first/last name and age.

3.    Everyone must participate in the warm-up session before the events.

4.    Only COMPETITORS AND OFFICIALS on the track and field areas. All parents and spectators please stay in the stands. This is very important. It makes for fair competition and helps the officials do their job properly. Adults on the track and field interfere with the officials and distract athletes who need to concentrate on their events. Except in the 50 and 100-yard dashes where the children need the comfort and counsel of their parents or significant others and if they are not competitive events that fall under track and field rules. Pacing an athlete will lead to a disqualification of the athlete.

5.     No pets allowed.

RAIN POLICY:

If there is lightning and heavy rain, we cancel.

We will post on CTC Facebook page by 5pm if we plan to cancel. No make-ups.

Please remember to bring lots of water!
