Weather Condition information

Wet Weather / Rain

In the event of heavy rain, the track may become unsuitable for competition. The executive committee will inspect the track at 3:30 pm on the day of the competition/training and decide as to whether the program will run or not.

The competition will not be held in the event of lightning, and potential storms may also halt or delay competition.

Confirmation will be posted to our social media pages immediately.

Extreme Heat

On hot days we often run modified programs with less events to avoid strain on the athletes.

As a centre, we follow the policies and guidelines of LA Vic. Competition WILL go ahead until the temperature reaches 38°C or the executive committee deem the conditions unsafe or unsuitable to run.

Please ensure that your children have sunscreen on, a wide-brimmed hat to wear in between events and plenty of water throughout the morning on warm days.

Parent / Guardian Responsibilities

A parent or guardian can choose to keep your child/ren home and they are not obliged to compete if you feel the conditions may be unsuitable for your child. Only you are able to determine what is best for your child.

Program delays or cancellation

We schedule more sessions throughout the season to allow for cancellations due to extreme weather conditions.
