New Track
We are inviting your
participation in the re-surfacing and upgrading of Rotary Bowl,
greater Nanaimo's track & field complex.
All donors will be personally and publicly thanked. A full list of
donors will be published in the region's major newspapers once our
goal is achieved.
Rotary Bowl is centrally located behind NDSS on land owned by School
District 68 but principally developed and maintained by the Nanaimo
& District Track & Field Club. We are a community based, non-profit
volunteer organization affiliated with BC Athletics and Athletics
Canada. The complex is used year round by our members, School
District 68, Vancouver Island University, local running and athletic
clubs and individuals for training, competition, fitness and
recreation subject to the rules of use agreed to by the Club and the
School District.
Due to constant, year long use over the last ten years, Rotary
Bowl's 6010 sq. metres of track and jump surface is in urgent need
of re-surfacing. When completed, this renovation will once again
provide greater Nanaimo with a track & field facility second to none
in Western Canada. Failure to maintain our athletic complex will
result in our inability to offer events sanctioned by BC Athletics.
Performances will therefore not be considered for records and our
athletes deprived of possible provincial funding support.
The complex has hosted many track & field competitions at the local,
regional and provincial level bringing prestige and economic
benefits to the greater Nanaimo community. It also hosts Nanaimo's
annual Relay for Life cancer fund raiser.
Our Goals
- Maintain a premier track & field complex for greater Nanaimo.
- Maintain an optimum facility for athletic competition, fitness and recreation.
- Maintain an athletic facility capable of attracting regional, provincial and western Canadian and national track & field competitions with athletic and economic benefits for the greater Nanaimo community.
Our Objective
To raise the $200,000 necessary to add 3 mm of synthetic material to
our 100 metre sprint and
400 metre oval running tracks and our jump areas.
