UCAC will arrange travel and accommodation for club-selected competitions and pay entry fees. Athletes will be invoiced for their portion of the travel and accommodation expenses or may choose to make their own travel arrangements. UCAC will charge a small meet levy for all away track meets and will vary per meet. Athletes can also use their athlete’s account credits from volunteering at bingos and casinos to offset the cost of all In-Province meets and AGLC approved Out of Province meets.
