Event Information Dates -The KSAA Track & Field Championship traditionally takes place on a Saturday in mid- to late June. It is usually four weeks after the Kent Championship (contested by club runners.) This year's date has now been confirmed as Saturday 10th June 2023 Venues -The event has usually taken place in recent years at the Julie Rose Stadium (Willesborough Rd, Kennington, Ashford TN24 9QX). As that track was being resurfaced during the spring and summer of 2022, the competition was switched to Medway Park (Mill Rd, Gillingham ME7 1HF). Medway Park will once again host the 2023 competition How to Enter -Anyone interested in taking part should speak to their school PE teacher. Pupils are entered by their school's PE Department via the District Coordinator. An individual pupil may be entered for no more than two events. There are no relay races.

However, all athletes are expected to be capable of attaining the English Schools' Athletic Association (ESAA) Kit - Spikes may be worn but must be no longer than 6mm in length. Athletes are representing both their own school and their school district, so will usually wear a school sports top. A few districts have their own sponsored kit, which all their competitors wear. Club vests may also be worn, but crop tops are not permitted. Events - There is a limited range of events for Year 7 athletes. (Currently, these are 100m, 800m, Long Jump, Shot and Javelin.)
