You should get your hip number at least 15 minutes before your track event. You should report to your field event up to 45 minutes in advance. If you are in multiple events at the same time, work with the field official to be sure they know what else you are in, so they can try and accommodate your attempts. Running events take priority, so those that leave the check in area for field events have the responsibility to get back to the track as the track events will not be held up for those in field events.
