The Javelin Throw facility at Mahamaya Sports Stadium is built to international athletics standards, providing a professional environment for both training and competitive events.
The Runway: Features a high-performance synthetic all-weather runway that provides the necessary grip and “rebound” for a powerful approach and transition.
The Landing Sector: A spacious, well-maintained grass sector with clearly marked distance arcs, allowing athletes to track their progress and officials to measure throws accurately.
Safety & Layout: Designed with a wide safety perimeter to ensure that the throwing path is clear from other track and field activities. The orientation is optimized to minimize the impact of crosswinds during flight.
Professional Training: The stadium is a preferred spot for state-level athletes, offering a quiet, focused atmosphere for technical drills and full-approach throws.
The stadium features a professional synthetic runway. This ensures consistent traction regardless of weather conditions, which is crucial for preventing slips during the final "crossover" and "release" phases.
Yes, athletes are generally expected to bring their own equipment (competition or training javelins). However, if you are enrolled in the Certified Coaching Program, the academy may provide training spears based on your age and weight category.
Since it is a synthetic track, you must use standard athletics spikes (usually 6mm to 9mm). Longer field spikes or blunt metal studs are strictly prohibited as they can permanently damage the synthetic surface.
For safety reasons, Javelin practice is strictly scheduled during specific hours when the landing sector (which overlaps with the outer field) is clear of other athletes. Please check the Real-Time Booking Calendar for "Field Event" availability.
