Where is best to see what events?

One of the best things about coming to an athletics event is that you are never far away from the action, with multiple events happening at the same time and spread around the arena there is always something to watch.

In the arena every seat gives you an excellent view of the action.

If you love to watch the fastest athletes on the planet the best seats to choose are in Blocks 3, 4, 10 & 11.

Want to watch the long jumpers charging down the runway, then choose seats in Blocks 10, 11 or 12.

If the pole vault is more your thing, then seats in Block 1 or 2 are for you whilst Blocks 4 & 9 offers the best view of the high jump.

For the shot put events, Blocks 1 & 2 offer the best viewpoint.

And of course, not leaving out the endurance races where any seat in the arena is great to cheer on the athletes as they complete laps of the track.
