Since 2008 is a Summer Games year and the midget athletes (1993 and 1994) compete in a pentathlon at the Summer Games, 15 year old athletes are invited to compete at the VIAA Pentathlon even thought they no longer belong to the JD category.

.

PLEASE NOTE: The pentathlon will start at 10:00 am .

Peninsula Track feels that athletes on Vancouver Island have little opportunity to participate in a Pentathlon competition. Therefore,  we are hosting a pentathlon  meet  at Sidney to give them a chance to experience a pentathlon before the championships.  Results in individual events from this meet will count towards the Vancouver Island Series awards and the meet  also counts as one the four necessary to be eligible for Island Series awards as long as one of the other meets is the Nanaimo or Alberni Meet.

 

LOCATION

Parkland School, MacDonald Park Rd., Sidney B.C.

 

For those unfamiliar with the area, you get to Parkland school by driving north from Victoria on highway 17 (signs to Swartz Bay Ferry terminal), go past the town of Sidney (Beacon Avenue) and turn right at the second turnoff onto MacDonald Park Road. Proceed south less than 1 km and Parklands school is on the right side (west side) of the road. Click here for map.
