Highland Athletics Competitions

Updated March 19th 2012

This year is our 40th competition for highland athletics and we are expecting another great performance from our athletes. We will have competitions on both Saturday October 20th and Sunday October 21st. We have a tight schedule and a limited field to compete on, so our Amateur and Professional competitions are by invitation only. The competitors will be selected and notified by the end of July.

Competitions’ will include 7 athletic events:

Stone Throw
Heavy Weight for Distance (54# or 42# for Masters)
Light Weight for Distance (28#)
Hammer Toss (22# or 16# for Masters)
Caber Toss
Sheaf Toss (20# Sheaf)
Weight for Height (56# or 42# for Masters)

This year we will also have our Clan Challenge competition which will be held on Sunday October 21st. This is a fun competition with limited events where competitors win bragging rights for their clan. Specific events will depend on the number of entries and time permitting. Sign up will be on the day of the competition and competitors must wear a kilt to compete.
