Track Etiquette 

We have created a track etiquette list for our customers to ensure your utmost safety:

1. Never cross the throwing field inside the ropes. Throwing implements can cause serious harm/death
2. No standing in any lane
3. Always look left and right before crossing the track
4. No group may use more than 4 lanes at any one time unless they have booked sole use of the track

6. All throws must be made from the correct throwing area and in the correct direction unless with prior agreement of the management
7. Always finish your run in your lane and then clear the track
