Get ready for the heat

This coming weekend will bring fantastic weather for track and field. It’s going to be extremely hot, so be sure to check the weather forecast before you leave so you’re well prepared.
Lots of sun = plenty of sunscreen + a cap or hat for some shade.

Our caterers will, of course, have plenty of cold drinks, and there will also be additional water stations available on the event grounds around the stadium. 
Sunscreen is also free and available at several locations around the stadium.

First aid personnel will, of course, be on hand, ready to provide help and advice.
