This year, Nyíregyháza will once again host one of the biggest county athletics events of the 2024/2025 school year, the Athletics Skills and Relay Team Championship.
The prestigious competition is organized by the Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County Student Sports and Leisure Association, in cooperation with the Nyíregyháza City Student Sports Association.
The aim of the competition is not only to decide the championship titles, but also to promote athletics and encourage young people to participate in sports.
The competition will take place on September 23-24, 2025, starting at 10 a.m. at the Nyíregyháza Athletics Center. The best school teams in the county will compete in skill and relay events.
Who can participate?
Students participate in the competition according to age groups:
Age groups III–IV: born between 2011 and 2014
Age groups V–VI: born between 2006 and 2010
Each school can enter a maximum of two teams, and competitors can take part in several skill events and the relay race.
What events are there?
The skill events include the high jump, long jump, shot put, small ball throw, discus throw, and javelin throw.
In the relay race, the younger age group will compete in a 10×200-meter mixed relay, while the older age group will demonstrate their speed and teamwork in 4×800-meter, 4×1500-meter, and Swedish relays (100–200–300–400 m).
Advancement and awards
The best teams will have the opportunity to prove themselves in the national finals after the county finals. The winners will receive medals, but the greatest reward for all participants is the experience itself and the love of sport.
The organizers hope that this year, too, many young and enthusiastic fans will fill the stands, as team competitions always offer exciting and spectacular moments.
