As the club outdoor season swings into action athletes will be looking for opportunities to register performances in preparation for the provincial Junior and Senior Championships in Windsor and several weeks later, for the Nationals.  Some of our elite athletes will need a top-notch performance in order to get them selected to the Canadian Pan American Games squad.

Keeping this in mind, the Asian Games, organized in cooperation with Athletics Ontario, is offering a programme that will provide opportunities for our top junior and senior athletes while including Long Term Athlete Development – friendly events for our younger athletes.

To optimize the competitive opportunity, all entrants in the 100m and 100/110m hurdles events will be given two runs.

In addition, there will be special age class events for Midgets (Under 16):  Girls and Boys 300m, 1200m, Shot Put  and for Bantams (Under 14):  80m,  150m, 1200m and Shot Put.  Athletes of all ages and ability levels may enter the Open or age class events.
