Friday night out in Glasgow: Crownpoint to host 10,000m Champs

Wednesday 23rd April 2025

The first Scottish Championship medals of the 2025 outdoor track and field season are up for grabs in Glasgow this weekend.

Friday night athletics returns to Crownpoint as the Glasgow Athletics Association play host to our Scottish 10,000m Champs in the ‘Night of the 10ks’.

A busy programme also this year includes 800m races for U17 and U15 athletes and those planning to spectate are asked to register in advance, please.

Lindsays National XC medallists Logan Rees and Scott Stirling head the entry lists and look very strong contenders for the Men’s podium. That top race, off at 8.35pm, also includes Lewis Hannigan, Hamish Hickey, Jamie Burns and Taha Ghafari.

The Women’s medallists look harder to call at the moment but contenders may include Anya MacLean, Eve MacKinnon, Katie Clubb and Jill Cox.

‘We want to thank the endurance community for once again reaching capacity for our latest Miler Meet fixture,’ said the GAA.

‘As well as the Scottish 10,000m Champs, for the first time we have incorporated 800m races for U15 and U17 athletes – and these races are full. This is a really positive response and the clubs, coaches and athletes who are have taken up this opportunity should be congratulated for their support of this key endurance fixture.

‘We are all hoping for a fantastic evening of athletics which will build a platform for developing the event further in future years.’

A few points to note ahead of Friday’s event . . .

Prize Pot:

There is a prize pot of £300 available to the overall fastest in each of the men’s and women’s events IF they break the following target times:

10,000m Men: 29:20; Women: 34:10

If only one athlete achieves the time he or she will claim the prize pot. If more than one winner achieves the times it will be split equally (i.e. if two winners break the times they will get £150 each).

If nobody achieves the prize pot standards then the money will roll over and be added to the pot for the next GAA Miler Meet (30/05/25).
