If there is a significantly prolonged delay, a coaches meeting will be called and a decision about proceeding will be agreed.

Security

The College has excellent security. However, coaches should ensure all valuables are stored away safely and remain in the tents provided for each school.

Food

There will be food available to purchase from a variety of vendors on the day.

Refreshment

Schools should remind all players to bring a water bottle that can be refilled from the water dispensers provided. There will also be a refreshment stall available to all participants, staff and parents.

Medical treatment

There will be paramedics on hand throughout the tournament. In addition to this, Marlborough nurses will assist in treating the players. In the event of a serious injury participants will be taken to Gleneagles Hospital, therefore, coaches require all necessary player contact details and documents for insurance purposes. Players without insurance must have adequate funds to cover any expenses incurred.

Rules

All I.A.A.F. (http://www.iaaf.org/) rules and regulations are in force, apart from the following Straits exceptions:

  • Disqualification

A runner is paced by any person other than another competitor in the race.

A runner receives assistance throughout the course from anyone other than those services that are provided, by the host school for all competitors.

 

Meet Organisation

A lane draw will be conducted.

  U9 U11 U13 U15 O15
Number in a team (per gender) 5 5 5 5 5
Number to score 5 5 5 5 5
Distance 1km 1.5km 3km 5km 5km
Organisation Age groups or genders can be run together if numbers and the venue allows. However, the host school should ensure that there is an effective system to separate the results so that all the various categories can be recognised.
Awards Medals awarded to the top individual runner in each category,

(i.e. Boy/Girl in U9, U11, U13, U15, O15, age groups).

 

Medals for the top 5 runners in the winning team in each category.

 

Points

Each runner receives points equal to the position they finish, during the race (e.g. 1st place = 1 point).

The team score is figured by tabulating the team’s first five finishers’ points. The lowest score wins.

In the event of a tie, the position of the last-placed scoring runner shall determine the result.

Teams should be able to finish at least five runners to score. If the fifth runner is unable to finish, the fifth score will be that of the place following the final finisher in the race e.g. if there are 50 runners, the fifth score to be added is 51 points.

 

Age Groups

Please keep to Straits Age Restrictions.

Athletes may compete in the age group above.

If all age groups run on the same day, athletes can only run in one age group race – athletes may run in a higher age group but not an age group below.

Officials

Direction indicators and officials will be placed at intervals throughout the course and whenever deemed necessary for the safety of the runners.

Cut Off Time (O15)

For the O15 School race, if a runner exceeds a time of 40 minutes (boys) and 45 minutes (girls), then their time will not be recorded and they will be declared a DNF.
