| EVENT DETAILS TRACK PENTATHLON 3000 METER * 800 METER * 200 METER * 1500 METER * 400 METER The track pentathlon is a truly unique track competition where sprinter competes against distance runner, young buck against seasoned veteran, and woman against man! After 5 grueling track events, we will find out who is the best overall track athlete. The Track Pentathlon builds camaraderie like no other event as competitors huddle together trying to recover prior to the next challenging race! The track is a 6 lane, all weather rubberized (Only 1/4 inch spike or flats). Start blocks will be available. The first event starts at 8am (sharp) with all races spaced 35 minutes apart. Each athlete will be seeded into groups based on your recent 800 meter time (or best estimate). Points are tabulated for each race (age/gender graded) with awards based on a total score for the 5 races. Age Graded Scoring : The age/ gender graded tables measure how close an athlete comes to the world standard for their age and gender. The Philadelphia Track Pentathlon will present a rare opportunity for men and women , young and old, to compete directly against each other "on a level playing field", thus eliminating separate awards for men, women, and age groups. For a complete explanation of age grading. For a look at the calculation chart. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE SCORING OF THE TRACK PENTATHLON. CONTACT KYLE MECKLENBORG YOU CAN ALSO CALL KYLE @ 215-393-1382 LIMITED ENTRY FOR TRACK PENTATHLON- 54 TOTAL RUNNERS PRE ENTRY REGISTRATION ONLY. THIS EVENT WILL BE CLOSED WHEN THE 54 TOTAL RUNNER LIMIT IS REACHED.

THROWS TRIATHLON SHOT PUT * JAVELIN * DISCUS The Throws Triathlon is a unique field event that allows the throwers to compete in 3 disciplines to see who is the overall best thrower!

Flights will be determined based on recent performances - not by sex or age. Points are calculated for each event (age/gender graded), and awards will be based on a total score for the three events.
