Two build-up events have been scheduled by the AE for preparations of the main event, the national championships, to be held on Saturday, October 31, 2020 at the Mavuso Sports Centre.

The build-up events were confirmed by newly-appointed AE Public Relations Officer (PRO) Victor ‘Mavikane’ Dlamini.

Both build-up events, same as the national championships, will be staged at the Mavuso Sports Centre.

“Staring time for the first build-up event will be 9am. We, however, urge athletes to report at the venue at 8am,” he said.

The build-up events will incorporate both track and field events and registration is already open.

“We urge clubs to start registration for the first build-up scheduled for this weekend. We do not want individual athletes, you register as a club,” said the PRO.

Dlamini said it did not matter how good an athlete maybe, individual registration was prohibited; only clubs were allowed to register.  

“Clubs are to register through the AE email or WhatsApp group for the clubs,” he said.

The AE spokesperson added that preparations were going well so far as athletes were preparing themselves for the October 3 build-up event. 

Dlamini also urged athletes to continue preparing as they expected new national records on the national championships day.
