Support act! Scots ready for home crowd backing and EAP experience
Athletes from across Scotland, Britain and Europe will descend on the Emirates Arena on Saturday evening for our second EAP Glasgow Indoor International.
The pilot event proved popular 12 months ago and now around 1250 track and field fans will generate a special atmosphere as the event returns.
And scottishathletics are delighted that around 100 Scots will enjoy their opportunity to compete in front of a home crowd and savour the Emirates experience.
We are also pleased to announce the top two ranked Scottish athletes in each Senior event will be recognised and invited to wear representative Scotland Joma kit at the EAP.
Guy Learmonth returns to race in Scotland as he chases Commonwealth Games selection for the fourth time and he is joined by the likes of Alyson Bell and Alessandro Schenini who were in fine form at this event a year ago.
Belgian sprinter Alexander Doom returns to the scene of his World Indoors victory over 400m two years ago and top British sprinters will also be in action – Laviai Nielsen, Andy Robertson and Imani-lara Lansiquot.
