All Events
The packed 2024 track, field and road race schedule for OARC and non-OARC organised events in Orkney can be found on this page. Some events are confirmed dates, others are subject to change, please see the individual event pages for details. Please note that the Picky track will be refurbished between mid April and late June, and any changes or delays to those dates may affect the calendar for OARC events.
We also include regional and national events that we think will be of interest to our members, but these are non-OARC organised events and information may not be fully up to date. Scottish Athletics maintain an event calendar which will be more up to date for their events: https://www.scottishathletics.org.uk/events/championship-events/

π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώβ€οΈπ€NEW ORKNEY RECORD FOR EMILYπ€β€οΈπ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
Emily McArthur ran 2:14.84 - a new personal best time, as well as improving on her U17/U20/Senior Women’s 800m Orkney Record.
She was competing for Scotland in the Schools International Athletic Board Summer Meet, where two U17 athletes are selected from each home nation to compete against each other. This year, it was held in Carmarthen in Wales, and Emily finished 6th in the 800m, taking almost a second off her previous PB and Record.
ππ»Huge congratulations, Emily! We’re all very proud of you.ππ»
Congratulations also to Emily’s coaches, Mags MacRae and Nigel Thomson, and to Emily’s family. Behind Emily’s success is a huge amount of dedication and hard work from her and her support team.
