Her har boet mennesker, siden den første vikingeboplads på stedet, hvor Århus Å flyder ud i Bugten. I dag skaber næsten indbyggere byens puls, og de mener alle, at Århus er noget særligt. Skove, hav og strande skaber smukke omgivelser omkring denne by, og Århus bugner af kunst, kultur og kulinariske specialiteter i al slags vejr. Århus står stærkt inden for arkitektur, design og byggeri, og byen er hjemsted for en række af de mest prisbelønnede danske arkitekter. Byen er et dynamisk centrum for handel og uddannelse. Vi er førende på IT-området og vort universitet har internationalt omdømme og tiltrækker studerende fra ind- og udland. Byen støtter sine mange idrætsforeninger, som foruden at skabe rammerne for idræt også skaber venskaber og partnerskaber for en stor gruppe af børn og unge. Idræt er også et vigtigt redskab i forbindelse med integration, da sport bygger bro mellem nationaliteter og generationer. Århus er glad og stolt over at levere rammerne til de 14. europamesterskaber i atletik for veteraner. Nyd opholdet i Århus! Kære aktive og kære venner af veteranidrætten i Europa! Velkomst fra Dieter Massin, Præsident for det europæiske veteranatletikforbund (EVAA) For første gang nogensinde er det europæiske veteranatletikforbund (EVAA) gæst i Danmark. Byerne Århus og Randers er vært for de 14. europamesterskaber i atletik for veteraner (EVACS) med ca deltagere. Århus har allerede været vært for mange internationale sportsbegivenheder. Denne by garanterer i samarbejde med Randers et succesrigt stævne i juli-august EVAA har rundet 25 år og har en fornem historie, hvori disse mesterskaber vil indtage en værdig plads. For to år siden var der deltagerrekord ved EVACS 2002 i Potsdam, Tyskland. Stævnet var samtidig indledningen på en ny tidsregning med europæiske inde- og non-stadia (landevej/cross) mesterskaber. Århus og Randers bliver mødestedet for Europas veteranatleter i 11 dage i juli-august De bedste atleter i Europa vil mødes og dokumentere veteranidrættens høje niveau i Europa. The history of Århus goes back more than a thousand years, and people have lived here since the first Viking settlement at the point where the Århus stream flows out into the bay. Today, the pulse of the city is created by the almost 300,000 inhabitants, who all find Århus quite unique. Woods, sea, and beaches provide a beautiful setting around this city, and Århus is brimming with art, culture and culinary delights whatever the weather. Århus has a strong position in connection with architecture, design and building, and the city is home of some of the most award-winning Danish Architects. The city is a dynamic centre for commerce and education. We are leaders in the field of IT, and our university has an international reputation, and attracts students from Denmark and abroad. The city backs up the many sports associations which - in addition to providing a framework for physical activities - often function as an important aspect of friendship and fellowship for a considerable group of children and youngsters. Sport is also an important tool in connection to integration, as sport functions as a bridgebuilder between nations and generations. Århus is delighted and proud to provide the framework for the 14th European Veterans Athletics Championships Enjoy your stay in Århus! Dear athletes, dear friends of masters sport in Europe! Message from Dieter Massin, GER President of the European Veterans Athletics Association For the first time the European Veteran Athletics Association (EVAA) will be guest in Denmark. the cities Århus and Randers host the European veterans on the occasion of the 14th European Veterans Athletics Championships Stadia (EVACS) where approx athletes are expected. Århus already hosted many different sports-events. This city in co-operation with Randers will be the best guarantee of successful games in July-August The European Veterans Athletic Association is now 25 years old and can show a proud past in which the 14th championships will go. Two years ago Potsdam (organiser of EVACS 2002) saw a new record in participation (4384 competitors). This was also the beginning of a new chronology regarding the indoor- and nonstadia-championships. S I D E 3 I EVACS 2004

5 Jeg byder velkommen til alle aktive, trænere, ledsagere og frivillige og ønsker alle et godt stævne og nogle oplevelsesrige dage i Danmark. Også en tak til arrangørerne, som gør alt for at skabe så gode faciliteter og betingelser som muligt. Held og lykke og et godt ophold i Danmark. Velkommen til Randers Velkomst fra Michael Aastrup Jensen, Borgmester i Randers I Randers er vi meget glade og stolte over, at vi er en del af det største atletikarrangement nogensinde i Danmark. Både Randers Kommune, Randers Freja Atletik & Triathlon samt Randers Real Atletik ser frem til at være vært for EM i atletik for veteraner. I Randers har vi mange og gode erfaringer med at arrangere store idrætsstævner, og jeg er sikker på, at den erfaring betyder, at arrangementet i Randers forløber godt. EM i atletik for veteraner bliver en ramme for samvær på tværs af discipliner og nationaliteter, og jeg håber, at de mange deltagere vil få en god oplevelse både sportsligt og socialt. Randers er en gammel by med mange attraktioner, og ikke mindst en spændende handelsby. Vi glæder os til at se rigtig mange atletikudøvere i gaderne i Randers. Velkommen til EM i atletik for veteraner Velkomst fra Kai Holm, medlem af IOC, Formand for Danmarks Idræts-Forbund og International Masters Games Association Et veteran-em er et flot symbol på den livslange glæde ved idræt. Det er en fornøjelse at se så mange toptrænede atleter, der er kommet lidt op i alderen, men som fortsat dyster på højt niveau. Til det forestående EM venter sportslige udfordringer, men forhåbentlig også sociale oplevelser. Med så mange mennesker samlet med idrætten som fælles interesse skulle der være gode muligheder for at knytte livslange venskaber og også få oplevelser som turist. EM i atletik for veteraner afvikles for 14. gang. Denne gang har Danmark æren af værtskabet. Det bliver på toptrimmede idrætsanlæg i byerne Århus og Randers, at konkurrencerne kommer til at udspille sig i de 11 dage, stævnet varer. Hundredvis af frivillige i de tre arrangerende klubber Århus 1900 A/M, Randers Real Atletik og Randers Freja Atletik & Triathlon er involverede i stævnet, der er den største atletikbegivenhed nogensinde i Danmark. Der er således gjort alt for, at du får gode oplevelser både på og uden for sportsarenaerne i sommeren Velkomst fra Martin Roald-Arbøl, Formand for Dansk Atletik Forbund På Dansk Atletik Forbunds vegne er det en stor glæde at kunne byde hjertelig velkommen til europamesterskabet i atletik for veteraner 2004 (EVACS 2004). De to jyske byer, Århus og Randers lægger tiptop stadionanlæg til dette gigantarrangement, der som teknisk arrangør har Århus 1900 A/M, Randers Real Atletik og Randers Freja Atletik & Triathlon tre klubber, der med deres store og dygtige medlemsskare står som garant for en god afvikling af dette ugelange mesterskab. Når de mange tusinde atletik-veteraner invaderer Jylland, vil vi helt afgjort genkende mange af atletikkens store navne, der huserede på verdens atletikbaner i 1950, 1960, 1970 og 1980 erne. Danmark var ét af de første lande, der tog veteranatletik alvorligt. Det har resulteret i, at vores dejlige idræt dyrkes hele livet og skaber sundhed og livskvalitet for mange mennesker. I Århus and Randers will be the meeting point of the European veterans for 11 days in July/August The best athletes of Europe will compete and present the high level of veteran sport in Europe. I welcome all athletes, coaches, accompanying persons, and officials - and wish all of you exciting and successful days in Denmark.

It is a pleasure to see so many top trained athletes in the prime of life, who still compete at a high level.

Denmark was among the first countries to take veterans athletics seriously and we now see many athletes enjoy our wonderful sport throughout their lives. Besides the fight for results and medals this creates health and quality of life, the most important aims for the movement of veterans athletics.

Århus-området rummer alle de bedste og mest typiske sider af dansk kultur og det venlige danske landskab: Dybe, stille skove, rene sandstrande, blå fjorde og smukke bakke- og hedelandskaber, som hist og her gennemskæres af vandløb og dybe fjorde. Århus er med sine næsten indbyggere Danmarks næststørste by med tilnavnet Verdens mindste storby. Vikingerne grundlagde byen for over 1000 år siden ved udmundingen af Århus Å, hvor man i dag finder det livlige og populære forlystelseskvarter, Vadestedet. Århus har en ung atmosfære på grund af byens status som vigtig universitets- og uddannelsesby. Bykernen er smuk og livlig med et rigt butiks- og caféliv i stadig udsmykning, men selv i bymidten er man aldrig langt fra skov og strand, hvilket giver Århus sin helt specielle atmosfære. Århus har shoppingmuligheder for enhver smag med et nyrenoveret strøg og moderne shoppingcentre såvel i bymidten som i forstæderne. Hyggeligst er måske det såkaldte latinerkvarter i de små brostensbelagte gader bag Århus Domkirke. Her finder man snesevis af små specialbutikker med modetøj, dansk design og møbelkunst. I sommer residerer hendes majestæt Dronning Margrethe II indtil den 23. juli på Marselisborg Slot, som er nærmeste nabo til EVACS-stævnecentret på Atletion. Med skov, park, strand, slot og forlystelsesparken Tivoli Friheden som nærmeste nabo til stævnecentret og blot få kilometers til byens midte, er vi stolte af at vise Århus frem for gæsterne ved EVACS Århus, sightseeingbus, linje 20 Hver dag kl kører en guidet sightseeing tur i Århus med buslinje 20 fra Århus Rådhus, Park Allé. Turen koster Dkk 50,-, to børn u/16 år kan køre på én billet. Vi anbefaler billetbestilling forud i Info Point, Atletion/Store Stadionhal. Leisure activities Århus Århus is Denmark s second largest city with a population of almost 300,000 inhabitants. The history of Århus goes back more than a thousand years, and people have lived here since the first Viking settlement at the point where the Århus Å stream flows out into the bay. Århus is an old city but still young at heart. In Århus you can feel the pulse-beat of a big city and yet everything is within easy reach, making the city an exciting and atmospheric place to enjoy all the year round. Århus boasts a large student population which injects a young, lively and optimistic lifestyle which is reflected in all the daytime and nighttime activities. Shopping is more than just buying - it is also a way of life. The pedestrian zones and the cosy Latin Quarter near the Cathedral abound with exclusive and unique shops. Here you will find a wide selection of Danish design plus international fashion and interior design. The ambience is quite unique whether you want to go shopping, take a break at one of the beautiful squares and open places, or visit one of the cafés and restaurants which Århus has in abundance. Woods, sea, and beaches provide a beautiful setting around this vibrant city, and Århus is brimming with art, culture and culinary delights whatever the weather. Among the many museums, the Old Town is a world of its own. The architectonic masterpiece, Concert Hall Aarhus, is also worth a visit - even when no concerts are taking place. Until 23 July Queen Margrethe II resides in the Marselisborg Palace adjacent to Atletion. With the forest, the park, the palace, and the amusement park Tivoli Friheden surrounding the EVACS 2004 main venue, we are proud to show Århus to our guests. Århus City tour, line 20: Every day at a guided city sightseeing tour (2,5 hours) runs from the Århus Town Hall in Park Allé with bus line No. 20. The trip costs Dkk 50,-, two children u/16 can go on one ticket. Book a seat in advance at the Info Point in Atletion/Big Stadium Hall. EVACS 2004 I S I D E 1 6
