Grangemouth Stadium celebrates 60 years as an athletics facility this summer – and we want our 4J Age Groups next month to be part of the anniversary celebrations.

Young athletes in our U14, U16 and U20 categories will gather to compete over the weekend of August 22 and 23.

The 4J Age Groups event is always one of the most popular in our 4J Outdoor Season calendar with national medals up for grabs.

Entries are already flowing in and we expect many of the events to reach capacity quite quickly.

The programme that weekend is as follows:

Saturday 22 August: U16 Champs plus a number of U20 events

Sunday 23 August: U14 Champs plus a number of U20 events

All entries must be submitted online through JustGo. No late entries will be accepted.

If you experience online entry problems please email events@scottishathletics.org.uk before 1700hrs on the closing date. Emails submitted after this time will not be accepted as an entry. All entries must be paid for at the time of booking.

U14/U16 athletes may enter a maximum of three events. A maximum of two can be track events.

U14 and U16 Athletes are only permitted to enter one of 800m OR 1500m events.

800m and 1500m races for U14s will be run as Timed Finals. These will be seeded per athletes’ declared seed times and personal bests. Medals will be awarded to the three fastest times recorded, regardless of which Timed Final they were achieved in.

U20 and U16 middle distance events will be run with rounds, if entry numbers require.

U20 5000m Championships are held within the 4J Senior Championships on August 29 and 30 at Aberdeen Sports Village.
