50th ANNIVERSARY DREAM MILE

Organized by the Lions Gate Road Runners
9:00 A.M. Saturday, August 7th. Balaclava Park Track, 30th & Balaclava St. Vancouver

Low key fun morning celebrating the August 7th 1954 Miracle Mile at Empire Stadium that featured Roger Bannister from England and John Landy of Australia both running under 4 minutes for the first time in history. Both athletes used this track for practice prior to their famous race "heard around the world".

A variety of mile runs will occur depending on a runners preferred mile pace. The first mile run at 9:00 A.M. will be for the 12 minutes and above pace group followed by successive mile runs until the final group of sub 5 minute mile runners have performed. Depending on the numbers of participants and pace groups the schedule and number of mile runs might have to be adjusted.

Day of Event fees collected for non members of BCA and light refreshments will be served.

MIRACLE MILE 50th ANNIVERSARY EVENT - VANCOUVER TRACK AND FIELD COMMITTEE

August 7th 1954, Roger Bannister beats John Landy for the Empire Games Gold in the 1 Mile. One of the biggest TV audiences of the era watched live as for the first time two men run below 4 minutes in the same event. On August 7th 2004 the Vancouver Track Committee will host mile races from noon until 4pm at Point Grey High School Track (5350 E. Boulevard, Vancouver, @ 37th). Anyone who wants to see how close they can run to the miracle mile is welcome to come by. Timers will be on hand and information on local running clubs and events will be available. A $5 entry fee and donations will be gratefully accepted to help raise funds towards building new facilities.

Background

50 years ago the eyes of the world focused on a Vancouver track where arguably the most memorable event in athletic history took place - but now this city's athletic prowess has dwindled to the point where we no longer have a track suitable for competition! In contrast to all of its municipal neighbours the City of Vancouver has made no investment in track and field infrastructure over the last 25 years. As a consequence, local students and athletes, both elite and recreational, travel outside the city to train. In conjunction with BC Athletics, BC Wheelchair Sports and other local athletic clubs and organisations the committee aims to promote track and field sports in the City of Vancouver and believes to do so effectively Vancouver needs modern facilities. As part of the campaign a presentation was made to the Parks Board Planning and Environment Committee on July 6th and proposals for new facilities will be considered in the upcoming capital planning process starting in the fall.

NikeRunDown: FASTEST KID IN CANADA

www.nikespeed.com/canada

The search is on for the fastest kid in the country. Starting today, teens can register for NikeRunDown - a national 35m head-to-head competition involving a series of regional events designed to declare the fastest male and female high school athlete. Teens can enter online at www.nikespeed.com/canada. The program involves a charitable component that aims to raise $100,000 to help kids overcome the financial barriers associated with organized sports.

"This is the biggest challenge of this kind ever issued to Canadian youth and we're psyched that kids will be going head-to-head in a speed competition," said Derek Kent, Head of Corporate Communications, Nike Canada Ltd. "NikeRunDown isn't just for kids on the track team. Regardless if it's football, rugby, basketball or soccer that is your sport of choice - if you're fast, we want you."

Not only will the male and female winner get the bragging rights of being the fastest in the country, they will also win a large billboard in their local area featuring their photo, a trophy, time with elite Nike Canada athletes and a banner raising in their honour. Prizes will also be awarded to the regional winners.

NikeRunDown will involve 35m qualifying races in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Halifax and Toronto. Youth aged 13-18 are eligible to race. The fastest three boys and girls from each city will then advance to the finals in Toronto. To gain access to the NikeRunDown, participants and spectators are asked to contribute $1 toward the purchase of a funky, red wristband with "Slow Sucks", "Be Fast or Be Last" and/or "Run Fast. Brag Slowly". The wristbands will be available at NikeRunDown events and select retailers. All wristband proceeds will go to KidSportTM Canada, an organization that assists youth in overcoming the financial barriers that limit their involvement in organized sport. Nike will match every dollar spent by the time of the finals in September. Nike's fundraising aim is $100,000 and the public is welcome to purchase the wristbands to help hit our goal.

"By purchasing a NikeRunDown event wristband you are helping kids in need gain access to sports programs, events and equipment that they wouldn't otherwise have access to," said Pete Quevillon, KidSportTM Provincial Director, Sport BC. "With the generosity of Canadians and Nike, KidSportTM is able to instil the love of sport in kids in communities across the country."

The program announcement coincides with the launch of Nike's new Speed campaign. Similar to NikeRunDown, the integrated campaign is a manifestation of Nike's obsession with speed and includes a complete collection of apparel, footwear and accessories designed to allow athletes of all levels to be the fastest they can be.

The dates for the qualifying races are as follows:

Sun Centre, Currie Barracks, Calgary, Saturday, August 21
Beatty Street Armoury, Vancouver, Sunday, August 22
Pier 20, Halifax, Saturday, August 28
Marché Bonsecours, Montreal, Sunday, August 29
Downsview Park, Toronto, Friday, Sep. 3 & Saturday, Sep. 4

The Finals:

The Runway, Downsview Park Toronto Sunday, September 5

NEW BC ATHLETICS DAY OF EVENT MEMBERSHIP FEE

BC Athletics Day of Event Membership Fee Sharing - New Schedule - effective April 1, 2004

The BC Athletics Board of Directors reviewed the Executive committee proposal and alternative proposals from both Maurice Wilson and Frank Stebner. The Board wishes to thank these members and others who may have contributed for their ideas and support on this matter.

The new Day of Event fee sharing schedule is as follows:

1. The calculations are based on the number of Day of Event Members entered in your event. (Those who are not registered annual members [current] of BC Athletics or another Provincial/Territorial, State or National Athletics Association.)
2. To support this BC Athletics provides to all sanctioned event organizers, a list of eligible members and an update to that list prior to the event. For those from another province, territory, state or national athletics association, they should verify membership with their valid association membership card. If they are not members of their provincial, territorial, state or national athletics association then they can become BC Athletics Day of Event members.
3. The new Day of Event Membership Fee sharing schedule is:

4. Associated with the new fee schedule is also a scale of Value-In-Kind Benefits linked to each Step of the new schedule.

The value in-kind or soft benefits component of a new schedule of BC Athletics Day of Event membership fee sharing would apply and have benefit for both the Sanctioned Event and BC Athletics/Divisions.

The in-kind benefits to Club/Event Organizing Committee and BC Athletics (the Divisions of) from sanctioned events are to be linked to the Day of Event Membership fee retained by the sanctioned event and that returned to BC Athletics. The guiding principles are:

1. that the more retained by the sanctioned event the more the event can provide to grow their participation and/or quality of their event; and
2. that the more that is retained by the event, the greater the value in-kind benefits to the association/division within the event.

The following will developed and linked to the steps in the new Fee Sharing Schedule.

For the sanctioned events the benefits, financial and in-kind benefits (in addition to the standard benefits already provided) include and in no particular order:

• an incentive to help grow participation in the event through the establishment of a new sharing formula for the day of event membership revenue;
• enabling prize money or enhanced prize money through the retaining of more day of event membership revenue, based on a new sharing formula;
• sport promotional information - provided by the association and put in participants event/race packages;
• for member clubs, information on where to get location and contact information - provided by the association and put in participants event/race packages;
• for children and families - information on kids programs - provided by the association and put in participants event/race packages;
• provision for the display and distribution of event information brochures at the BC Athletics booth at event expos;
• a review of the electronic version of the Calendar of Events which includes the consideration of the idea for a two tiered calendar:
  • the first calendar being only those events that are sanctioned by BC Athletics and other Prov/Terr or Nat'l Athletics Associations;
  • the second calendar - linked from the first calendar, would be the full calendar of all events, with the highlighting and bolding as is currently presented;
• a calendar of events listing fee for non sanctioned events;
• a partnership with the divisions of the association to provide assistance for regional level seminars and/or guest speakers in conjunction with a sanctioned event in that region.

These value-in-kind benefits will be linked in a progressive format to provide more to the event as the Day of Event Membership participation increases and as a result more of the Day of Event membership revenue is retained by the Club/Event Organizing Committee.

For BC Athletics/Divisions of the value-in-kind benefits to be linked to the steps in the new Fee Sharing Schedule include and in no particular order:

• association/division information - in participants event/race package;
• information on clubs - where to get location and contact information - in participants event/race package;
• Athletics (the sport) promotional material that is specific to various parts of the sport e.g. road running - in participants event/race package;
• information on kids programs - in participants event/race package;
• association division logo on event entry forms/information packages;
• signage at sanctioned events;
• booth space at event expo and/or the event;
• recognition at some level as a sponsor or supporter of the sanctioned event;
• designation of Day of Event revenue retained by the club to go to prize money in the event;
  association/division representative participation in event awards presentations - as appropriate.

These value-in-kind benefits will be linked in a progressive format to provide more exposure to BC Athletics/Divisions in the event as the Day of Event Membership participation increases and as a result less Day of Event membership revenue per person is returned to BC Athletics.

The materials referenced in the above value-in-kind benefits would be a responsibility of the association.
