Tents

30 November 2016 9:47am

Tent sites with a view of the track at Trusts Stadium are limited and it is likely that teams bringing tents will be disappointed by having to be situated away from the main arena around the warm up field. However the Stadium does have a very good grandstand with plenty of seating and teams should consider this option as a more suitable base. Please do not expect to be given a tent site before 9.00 am on Friday.

Mt Smart no longer available for the Track, Field and Road Race Championships, December 2-4 2016

6 June 2016 7:47pm

The Athletics Auckland booking of Mt Smart Stadium for these championships has been cancelled by Auckland City Council in order to hold the Cold Play concert there that weekend. Trying to find a suitable alternative in Auckland is proving to be very difficult with two of the tracks lacking the necessary infrastructure to hold a major championships and the Waitakere Trusts Stadium already booked for another event (the track is also being resurfaced).

Massey Park in Papakura has emerged as the only possible alternative but it is also due for a track resurfacing this summer. Discussions are being held to see if this can be delayed until after the first weekend in December and we are hopeful of a positive outcome very soon. This will be very unsettling for those of you who have already made accommodation arrangements and paid deposits but should we be successful in obtaining Massey Park your arrangements should still be reasonably suitable. Being in ahead of the demand for accommodation generated by the concert could turn out to be an advantage in the end. There is however likely to be pressure on accommodation in the Papakura area as there is a Tag Football tournament being held quite close by at Bruce Pulman Park that weekend.

A final option is to bring the Championships to Porritt Stadium in Hamilton which is approximately an 1 hour and 30 minutes by road south of Central Auckland but we are hoping that will not be necessary. We will confirm the venue as soon as possible.
