The 4J Annual Awards are coming up soon in Glasgow and we can’t wait for our big night.

It is only right and proper that we recognise and celebrate the contribution of volunteers, coaches, clubs and officials in Glasgow on Saturday 29 November.

Athletes are centre stage too, however, and today we are pleased to reveal the short-lists for four categories for Athlete of the Year accolades.

Tickets are on sale now for the big night at the Hilton Hotel (at £57 per person) with World and Olympic Champion, Christine Ohuruogu, our Guest of Honour.

Competition looks certain to be intense in all five Athlete of the Year categories with the winners to be chosen by our 4J Awards panels and then announced on our big night.

Medallists and finalists in various global and European events – in different disciplines – all feature across the categories.

Congratulations to all our athletes short-listed and to their families, coaches and clubs.
