“The success of the sport not only depends on the athlete’s performance,
but it also depends on the caring and selfless efforts of those behind the curtains, they are called VOLUNTEERS”-ZH-.
Throughout the athletic season, monthly competitions are organized, where all the local clubs register their athletes to compete. It’s always a two-day competition on the Fridays and Saturdays, where athletes from all age groups participate. The competition’s size depends on the type of competition that is organized. All track & field competitions consist of run, jump and throw events.
| Run | Jump | Throw | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60m | 80m | 100m | Long jump | Ball throw |
| 200m | 400m | 600m | High jump | Shotput |
| 800m | 1000m | 1200m | Discuss throw | |
| 1500m | 3000m | 5000m | Javelin throw | |
| 5000m walk | 60m hurdles | 80m hurdles | Hammer throw | |
| 100m hurdles | 110m hurdles | 4x100m relay | ||
| 4x200m relay | 4x400m relay |
The above mentioned competitions are organized by Curaçaose Atletiek Bond (CAB), but the local clubs are encouraged to organize their own competitions under guidance and supervision of CAB. For each competition we have approximately 45 volunteers spots, that need to be filled for the competition to run smoothly. Prior to the competition, each volunteer is assigned a specific task and responsibility for the day and volunteers work in shifts. Please register, to confirm the times. The tasks vary from technical tasks on the tracks as well as non-technical tasks.
