Friday Night Lights Track & Field Meet

3rd Annual Friday Night Lights Track & Field Meet hosted by UWC Athletics Club

(The event will be organised under the auspices of WPA, ASA and World Athletics).

The Track & Field Competition organised under the lights at the iconic UWC Stadium provides an exciting and unique opportunity for athletes to shine in the odd events. For short sprint events, on offer, there will be a 60m dash as well as a 150m longer sprint event. In the long sprints, athletes will be able to participate in the 300m as well as 600m events as under distance events. Field events will be standard as we hope to attract a number of athletes from up country and abroad.

WPA has given us the go-ahead to put together a 10 000m race that has already received quite an interest from the best local athletes. With the timing so perfect, a number of athletes from altitude regions expressed their interest to participate in the event.
