1500m Invitational

The 1500m Invitational event is held in January each year. The event is open to all registered LAWA athletes who have obtained a personal best for the 1500m event in the current season and have registered that personal best with the BLAC Records & Ranking Officer at least one week prior to the event. Athletes are placed into the following age categories: U11-13 Boys, U11-13 Girls, U14-17 Boys and U14-17 Girls with Belmont Athletes and Visitors racing together. Gold, Silver & Bronze medals will be awarded in each of the 4 categories. All visiting athletes may compete in any other events held on the day.
