Week 18 of summer competition at SA Athletics Stadium has been cancelled due to extreme hot weather.
Since the maximum temperature on Wednesday is predicted to be well over 40 degrees, our Hot Weather policy (see panel below) applies to SAMA competition this week.
The Committee has decided that SAMA Competition will be CANCELLED.
Any queries can be directed to the Summer Coordinator, Viddy Jermacans.
Hot Weather : CANCELLATION POLICY
- SAMA will not compete when temperatures are 40 degrees or above.
- In temperatures between 32 and 40 degrees, the length of races above 1500m may be adjusted according to the temperature and humidity.
- If the predicted temperature is 40 degrees or above, and an evening cool change is not predicted, the meet will be cancelled on the day before the meet.
- If the predicted temperature is 40 degrees or above, but a cool change is predicted to come in by 6pm we may still plan to meet. In these circumstances the final decision will be made by 10am on the Wednesday morning. A message will be posted on the SAMA website and/or Facebook page advising the cancellation.
The person to be contacted for further information is the Summer Coordinator, Viddy Jermacans.
