An map of the embargoed areas is available here. The areas are all embargoed for runners wishing to compete in the JK, until the competition is finished. Any attempt to survey or train in the competition terrain is forbidden, unless explicitly permitted by the JK coordinator. However - for the sprint area - it is permitted to drive along the roads through the area (such as Council of Europe Boulevard, University Boulevard, Harvard Avenue, Princeton Drive, Tees Barrage Way) prior to the day of the competition. It is also permitted to compete in organised road races or similar with marked routes through the area, such as the Simplyhealth Great Tees 10km and the Stockton Duathlon festival.
All three individual foot-O competitions will be World Ranking Events.
There will also be a Temp-O competition on day 1 at Stockton Riverside, and a Pre-O competition on day 2 in Sneaton Forest.
All days will use the SPORTident punch system, and controls will be enabled for touch free punching with SIACs.
Entries are now open. JK 2020 O tops and Event Clips are also available (pre-orders via the Entries system only) - see the Merchandise page.
