Il s'agit de l'organisation de rencontres d'athlétisme:
"These cover events put on by clubs (athletics clubs and other types of clubs), educational institutions (schools, colleges, universities, etc.), governing bodies (national, regional, for specific groups, etc.) and other authorities (civic parks departments, facility owners)."
