Gold Coast 2018 – athletics schedule
Gold Coast 2018 Countdown stories
IT’s almost time!
The Commonwealth Games in Australia are almost upon us in terms of track, field and marathon as Team Scotland compete at Gold Coast 2018.
Hammer throwers Chris Bennett and Mark Dry are the first in action in the early hours of Sunday morning (BST) before, almost a full week later, Sammi Kinghorn, Callum Hawkins and Robbie Simpson race in the marathons late on Saturday night (April 14, April 15 in Australia).
Naturally, we will be reporting across all scottishathletics channels – website, Twitter and Facebook. The Team Scotland website will be another great source of news.
From this Sunday, we would expect to carry daily reports on the athletics sessions to update on performances and give reaction from the Gold Coast from our athletes in Australia.
Below, we’ve listed the schedule of events so you can see who is competing when . . .
