Hi, Does 'all usual field and track events' include a 5k or a 10k run and if so where can we find the schedule of events?

Thanks,

Liz

hello Liz. Thanks for enquiring. There are no 5 or 10k runs but we have men's 100yards, 220, 440, half mile and mile. Also ladies 220 and 1 mile race.
In the field there is hammer, caber, weight for distance, weight over the bar, shot putt and high jump. Good cash prizes for all....oh, also mother and toddler's race and tossing the tyre (sameprizes)

also a range of boys and girls races from under 6 to 12-14 hundred yards.

Weather forecast is great,please come along and compete and/or enjoy the evening.
