Record breakers! Multiple marks fell during exciting Indoor Season

Sunday 13th July 2025

A return to the Emirates Arena helped ensure a thrilling 4J Indoor Season in Scotland – and here’s the evidence!

Our Records Committee have patiently been working through a series of new marks set in Glasgow and elsewhere in the early part of 2025.

Through the auspices of the Track and Field Commission, no fewer than 20 performances have now been ratified by the scottishathletics Board.

Big thank you to the Records Committee for their work on these Records and congratulations to athletes, coaches and clubs!
