Track Etiquette
Athletics tracks and the surrounding areas used for the field events are very dangerous places and it is necessary to have some rules to prevent accidents and enable athletes to train safely:

• Treat the whole area like you would a busy road. Never allow unsupervised children to play on or near an athletics track.

• Always look both ways before crossing a track (runners sometimes run in the reverse direction!).

• Always warm-up / down and jog in the outside lanes.

• It is usual for a runner to shout "TRACK" to warn someone on a track who is unaware of an approaching runner.

• The sandpits at the jumps are not children's play areas! It is vital that the sand is kept clean and free from foreign objects.

• High jump beds are not for playing on and should not be used unsupervised.

• Be aware - BE SAFE.
