VA Winter Track Series : Sandown
The Vectis Academy Winter Track Series, timed by Wild Isle Events, is a set of five Tuesday evening track events held at Sandown across the winter of 2026/27. The series combines traditional distance races with two timed challenges that use consistency or repeated speed attempts rather than a single mass-start race.
The scheduled nights and main challenges are:
- 03/11/26 - 5K
- 24/11/26 - 3K and Metronome 1600
- 22/12/26 - 5K
- 26/01/27 - 3K and Flying 400s Speed Challenge
- 23/02/27 - 5K
The Metronome 1600 consists of four watchless laps where consistency matters as much as outright speed. The Flying 400s Speed Challenge gives multiple attempts to record a fastest 400 m time.
Each round contributes points towards overall series standings. Results are chip timed by Wild Isle Events and published online, including standard finish times and positions. The series also uses age graded scoring to adjust performances for age and sex so competitors of different ages can be compared in the overall standings.
The events take place as part of Vectis Academy Tuesday track sessions. There is no additional race entry fee beyond the usual VA track session charge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
