    Wind Advantage

    We strive to provide you, as athletes, with optimal conditions for top performances, which means that we will align the direction for sprinting, short hurdle events and long jump/triple jump with the prevailing wind direction. Our 8-lane athletics track with double electronic timing is ready for this. Let’s hope the wind is in our favor.

    Heat and Lane Assignments for Running Events

    The drawing for heat and lane assignments will be conducted under the responsibility of the competition director, following the competition regulations. The series order is as follows: the slowest series starts first and the fastest last. The heat assignments will be finalized only after the close of check-in time on the day of the event. The heat assignments can be found on atletiek.nu.

    In the 800m and 1500m we do our best to arrange a pacer for each serie.

    Transition Rules for Sprint and Short Hurdle Events

    In the 100m hurdles (women), 110m hurdles (men), 100m (men), and 100m (women) events, each participant will have the opportunity to run twice. The heat assignment will be based on performance, with the first round determined by the declared performance and the second round (final) based on the times recorded in the heats.

    Equipment Inspection

    Personal throwing equipment (shot puts) can be continuously submitted at the equipment storage (located at the back of the indoor facility) starting from 2:00 PM until no later than 1 hour before the start of the event. The throwing equipment will be inspected, certified, and collected, along with the rest of the throwing equipment, for the respective events.

    Long Jump, Triple Jump and Shotput

    Participants in long jump, triple jump, and shot put are entitled to three attempts. The top 8 participants with valid performances will receive three additional attempts. Para-athletes will receive three additional attempts regardless. Only the 9- and 11-meter boards will be used for the triple jump.
