SRAC Open Graded and Hippo 1 Track and Field Meeting
HIPPO stands for 'Highlands and Islands - Performance, Participation,
Opportunity' HIPPO is a concept borne following athletics training
camps in Stornoway and Shetland in September 2007 and through
discussions with athletics clubs in the Highlands by Highland Regional
Coaches Charlie Forbes (Endurance) and Tracy Tamijmarane (Throws). They
identified the urgent need for the establishment of an athletics
competition and support system; this system would, given the geography
and travel logistics and costs involved, have to be innovative to meet
the needs of both rural and remote athletics clubs and those on in and
around Inverness. HIPPO is designed around, and will meet these
needs. Highlands Athletics Development officer, Julie Wyatt has been
instrumental in facilitating HIPPO. The HIPPO’s Back in Town
