Reminder to Athletes:

  • For track athletes, the traditional Athletics Ontario check-in/declaration procedure will not be used at this championship. Athletes will report to officials at their specific start line to receive their hip numbers, if applicable, lane assignments, and any specific instructions. 
  • All athletes must complete a waiver in order to pick up their bib at accreditation. Waivers may be emailed in advance to Randolph Fajardo (Entries Chair) – [email protected].
  • The waiver can be downloaded by clicking here.
  • If the athlete has given power of attorney to their club, the club may sign off on the waiver and have it submitted to AO. For the POA waiver click here.

Reminder for coaches:

  • Coaches will be able to pick up their accreditation at the front entrance and must also complete the TTFC screening when arriving. If you are a coach and have not already registered for a coaching pass, please do that here: http://www.trackiereg.com/2021-ao-coaches-pass 
  • Coaches that attended the U20 or Open/Para Championships are asked to bring their pass back for the U18 Championship.
  • Reminder to coaches to review the performance lists on the live results and to email randolphfajardo@athleticsontario.ca if club affiliations need to be updated for athletes.
  • All coaches are asked to send scratches to [email protected]. Refunds will be issued for all scratches received before the late entry deadline of Thursday August 5 at 10am.
  • Reminder for clubs with relay teams, to ensure they email Randolph Fajardo at [email protected] if they have members that are only attending the championships for a relay. This will ensure they receive a bib number.

Spectators:

Spectators will be allowed in designated areas of the facility for both days of competition at the upcoming Championships. There will be no spectator fee for entry. Additionally, we do ask, as it is facility mandated, that all spectators and championship personnel must wear a mask at all times.

Upon arrival, all spectators (and athletes) must enter through the main entrance of the indoor facility. Spectators will have to complete the Toronto Track and Field screening when they arrive. 

Spectators will receive a wristband for re-entry throughout the day. Screening must be completed for each day that a spectator and athlete plans to attend. 

There are two designated areas for spectators: the south side of the track by the spectator stands or on the north west grassy hill. Please review the overhead map here for more details.

Spectators are permitted to exit and re-enter the facility at their discretion, however due to the facility’s 300 person capacity limit, there may be times where spectator entry will be restricted.

Awards

FOR ALL FIELD EVENTS, officials will present medals to each athlete when they read the final results. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, we will not be conducting formal medal presentations. Those TRACK ATHLETES who place in medal positions will be asked to pick-up their medal outside of the facility (located directly beside the merchandise pick-up and accreditation). An AO backdrop will be available for self-taken photos. 

Apparel Pick-up

The order deadline for apparel pick-up at the U18 Championship this weekend has closed. We will not be selling apparel on-site due to COVID-19. 

For those that selected the U18 Championship as their designated pick-up location, your order will be ready for pick-up Saturday and Sunday. The apparel pick-up tent will be located OUTSIDE of the competition facility.

To pick-up your order, please bring proof of your confirmation email, including your name and order number!

Although the U18 Championship deadline has passed, you can still place an order for pick up at any of the other remaining AO championship meets this summer! Order deadlines are the TUESDAY (11:59 PM)  during the week of any championship! Shop Now!
