Summer 2016 track and field dates

Saturday 24th October 2015

Hurdling action by young athletes at the Age Groups in Aberdeen in 2013

The track and field season for Summer 2016 may seem a long way off with the cross country season firmly underway.

We’ve Indoor events looming, too, early in the New Year with all those National championships to take place at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow.

But, as we once again look to help clubs, athletes and coaches with forward-planning, we are happy to now make public some significant dates for the 2016 summer outdoor season in track and field.

It will hopefully be a hectic year for Scottish athletes at elite level with the European Championships in July being followed quickly by the Olympics in Rio.

For scottishathletics, the main focus will again be on our Senior Champs and Age Group Champs and these will both once more take place during August on the same weekends as in recent years.

Please note that, at this juncture some eight or nine months in advance, we would regard these as provisional dates. Venues are in the process of being booked and will be confirmed at a later date – probably into 2016.

Here are the main Scottish championship dates.

District Championships:

East, West and North: Friday 13 May and Saturday 14 May

scottishathletics superTEAMS (U12s):

Saturday 18 June

Combined Events, Senior Relays and Masters Championships:

Saturday 2 July and Sunday 3 July

Scottish Senior and Para Champs:

Saturday 13 August and Sunday 14 August

Scottish Age Group Champs:

Saturday 20 August and Sunday 21 August
