Track Surface Wear and Tear
Management of Beaton Park have noticed some additional damage on the front straight of the track. Aligned to this they have received reports of coaches using a weighted sled for athletes as part of resistance loading. Beaton Park have spoken with the track surface supplier who has confirmed sleds weighted or unweighted should not be used on the track surface. They will decrease the life of the track and will cause unnecessary wear and damage to the track surface as a result of this activity. Could all coaches please ensure they are either using resistance bands for this or using the sled on the infield.
Track line marking
Polytan are looking to program the repairs to the incorrect lines and new hurdle markers over the July School holidays. We anticipate this will impact track access for one day when this takes place. Once we receive confirmation on when the works will take place, all clubs will be informed..
